AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoFuel Shock & Cost Pass-Through: Diesel prices are at their worst in a decade, with supply shocks tied to the Middle East pushing costs up fast and hitting fleets’ operating budgets; the practical response is tighter purchasing, more current fuel-surcharge renegotiations, and cutting hidden waste from tolls and weigh stations. Maritime Disruption & Security: Ukraine’s drone campaign targets Russia’s “Amazon” logistics hubs (Wildberries) and oil infrastructure, underscoring how sea and inland supply chains are being hit by conflict-driven risk. Strait of Hormuz Escalation: The US and Iran exchanged strikes focused on surveillance, logistics infrastructure, and maritime capabilities, while regional air defenses reported intercepts—raising the stakes for shipping routes and energy-linked freight. Freight Rate Pressure (Russia): Freight transportation costs in Russia rose nearly a third year-on-year, with tariffs up sharply in recent weeks as fuel shortages and carrier refusals disrupt capacity. Regional Transport Economics: Malaysia’s Q2 inflation accelerated to 1.9% with transport costs a key driver, and Pakistan saw fuel-price-driven fare hikes—both feeding into broader logistics cost pressures. Last-Mile Logistics for Access: In the Philippines, troops carried school chairs and supplies over 25 km where roads end, highlighting how physical access constraints still shape service delivery and supply movement.
