Global Freight Forwarding Solutions

05/06/2026

The freight and logistics sector is facing renewed pressure following reports that MSC's Sariska V was struck by two projectiles while departing Iraq's Umm Qasr port. Thankfully, no crew members were injured, but the incident serves as another reminder of the geopolitical risks facing global shipping.

While this was an isolated event, the wider concern for importers is the potential impact on vessel routing, insurance costs, carrier capacity and transit times. As we've seen with previous disruptions in the Red Sea and Middle East, even localised incidents can quickly create ripple effects across global supply chains, contributing to higher freight rates and ongoing market volatility.

Combined with rising ocean and air freight costs from Asia, we will continue to closely monitor developments.

If you're concerned about how current market conditions may affect your shipments, get in touch with the Augment team for the latest guidance and tailored advice.

May was another strong month for us at Augment, marked by growth, new opportunities, and valuable time spent with customers and industry partners.

We onboarded four new clients across a range of commodity sectors, including several exciting additions in new markets, ensuring a smooth transition into operations 👏🏼

With freight rates rising sharply throughout the month, we worked closely with both new and existing customers to navigate market volatility, manage costs, and maintain supply chain continuity.

The team also spent time on the road meeting customers and discussing future growth opportunities. We were delighted to host clients at Ipswich Town FC's promotion-winning match, strengthening relationships away from the day-to-day business environment ⚽️

Alongside this, we attended key industry events, gaining valuable market insights and expanding our network.

May was a month of momentum and collaboration, setting the stage for an exciting summer ahead at Augment 🚀

Great to attend a fantastic networking event with the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce at Ransomes Jacobsen in Ipswich.

The event included an insightful factory tour, engaging guest speakers, and valuable opportunities to connect with suppliers and local manufacturers.

Looking forward to building on these new connections!
