The Strait of Hormuz is closed again after the resumption of the war between the US and Iran. US President Donald Trump has been convinced to withdraw his plans to toll those navigating the channel, Iran though has been charging vessels that transit near its coastline. Lars Jensen, former director at Maersk, and now CEO at Vespucci Maritime spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
In "How to Turn Freight Data into Audit-Ready Scope 3 Reporting", Joe Lynch and Michael Rentz, Chief Revenue Officer at Gnosis Freight, discuss how operational-grade logistics data automatically simplifies complex carbon compliance. About Michael Rentz Michael Rentz is the Chief Revenue Officer at Gnosis Freight. He joined the company in the Summer of 2020. Before joining Gnosis, he got his start in the industry with the South Carolina Ports Authority and Maersk. He left Maersk in 2018 to pursue his own endeavors, which eventually led him back to Charleston, SC, where he worked for Techstars in an attempt to stand up the first-ever Supply Chain and Logistics Accelerator. The pandemic put an unexpected halt to that, and it was then that he fortuitously met Austin McCombs (CEO/Founder of Gnosis) and Jake Hoffman (CTO of Gnosis).

Key Takeaways: How to Turn Freight Data into Audit-Ready Scope 3 Reporting In "How to Turn Freight Data into Audit-Ready Scope 3 Reporting", Joe Lynch and Michael Rentz, Chief Revenue Officer at Gnosis Freight, discuss how operational-grade logistics data automatically simplifies complex carbon compliance. The Foundation of Scope 3 Reporting is "Sovereign Data": Accurate emissions reporting is impossible without high-fidelity operational data. Gnosis Freight utilizes "sovereign data"—logistics data they originate, validate, and structure directly from primary sources (ports, terminals, carriers, and railroads) rather than relying on third-party aggregators or high-level assumptions. If your operational data isn't audit-ready, your carbon reporting won't be either. Regulatory Shifts are Turning ESG from a Checkbox into a Mandate: With major regulatory updates like California's SB 253 looming in 2027, large enterprises (doing over $1B in revenue) that touch these key economies will be legally required to disclose their Scope 3 emissions. What was once a marketing slide about "valuing the environment" is rapidly transitioning into a strict, auditable corporate compliance requirement. Solving the Category 4 "Data Black Hole": Scope 3, Category 4 emissions (upstream transportation and distribution) are notoriously fragmented and difficult to track. By overlaying the GLEC (Global Logistics Emissions Council) framework directly onto their existing container tracking data, Gnosis calculates precise emissions across every single leg of the journey—ocean transit, port idling, rail, and final-mile drayage—without requiring manual spreadsheets or guesswork. Shippers Want a Unified Operating System, Not More "Point Solutions": Enterprise Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCOs) are experiencing software fatigue and actively moving away from single-use point solutions. Instead of buying a standalone carbon tracking tool, shippers want emissions data embedded directly into their daily workflow. Gnosis solves this by making carbon tracking a seamless "flip of a switch" within their broader Container Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform. Data Must Be "Operational-Grade" to Be Useful: In logistics, if data is only 80% accurate, it is functionally 0% useful because operators will simply bypass the system and default to manual website cross-checking. For emissions data to survive a financial or regulatory audit, it must be built on the same operational-grade, real-time milestones used to run daily supply chain execution. FinOps and Carbon Audits Share the Same DNA: There is a direct parallel between auditing freight invoices and auditing carbon emissions. Gnosis found that 85% of invoice discrepancies stem from incorrect operational milestones (like when a container was actually made available). By mastering these physical execution milestones, Gnosis can simultaneously spot billing overpayments in their FinOps suite and defend carbon calculations in an emissions audit. Build Solutions by Getting in the Trenches with Customers: Gnosis's rapid growth—from navigating the pandemic's demurrage and detention (D&D) chaos to launching carbon tracking—has been entirely customer-driven. Rather than building flashy tech in a vacuum, their strategy is to deeply embed themselves with logistics managers, solve their immediate operational headaches first, and give them their time back to focus on strategic growth.

Is 2026 the year it all changed for energy? The Strait of Hormuz closure was "the largest oil supply disruption in history" but has not (yet) brought the global economy to its knees. But are we now living in a post-Hormuz world where countries and companies are seeking to diversify energy supply and ramp up renewables?

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell talks with Oana Jinga, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Dexory, about her non-technical path into tech, how her experience at Telefonica and Google shaped her approach to “knowing the user and knowing the magic,” and how Dexory evolved from a home security robot to retail shelf scanning and ultimately to a global warehouse intelligence platform. They discuss why Dexory chose tall, ground-based robots over drones to safely and efficiently digitize warehouses in real time, what it really takes to win and support enterprise customers like Maersk, DHL, and GXO, and how a robotics-as-a-service model lets customers buy data and insights rather than hardware. Oana also dives into the ethics of robotics and unbiased AI, emphasizing transparency with workers, privacy-aware data practices, and building a diverse team, before painting a picture of the future: supply chains transformed into connected, predictive supply networks powered by distributed intelligence and shared best practices across global sites. Highlights from their conversation include: Oana's Nontraditional Path Into Tech and Career at Telefonica and Google (0:43) What Dexory Is and How It Digitizes Warehouses in Real Time (2:44) Evolution From Home Security Robot to Retail Shelf Scanning to Warehouses (3:40) Why Dexory Chose Tall Ground Robots Instead of Drones (5:30) Selling Enterprise Robotics to Maersk, DHL, GXO, and Other Logistics Leaders (8:40) Robotics as a Service and Selling Data Instead of Hardware (11:51) Global Deployments Across the US, Europe, Australia, and Asia (12:30) Ethics of Robotics, Workforce Impact, and Unbiased AI Practices (15:00) Future of Connected, Predictive Supply Networks and Distributed Intelligence (17:44) Final Thoughts and Takeaways (20:17) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

"A slap in the face to all Iranian people." That's what an Iranian woman living in New Zealand is saying about this peace deal between the United States and Iran. And I can understand why she feels that way. Because she's saying it's another case of meet the old boss, same as the old boss. Which raises the question: is this actually a peace deal or is it a out of jail card for Donald Trump? Trump will claim it's a peace deal. But I don't believe that for a minute. But it will be enough to keep the president happy. He'll probably even add it to his list of wars he has ended. Conveniently ignoring the fact that was also the one who started it. But never let reality get in the way of delusion. The benefit for Trump, though, in this whole thing going on way longer than some people thought it would, is that some people will have forgotten why it all started in the first place. Even Trump seemed to forget pretty early on in proceedings. But Mehrdad Soltanifar hasn't forgotten. She's an Iranian living in New Zealand and she is gutted by what's happened. She's saying today that any deal with the Islamic Republic is unacceptable. She had hoped the conflict would lead to a regime change and she says any agreement with the current “monstrous” regime feels like “a slap in the face” to all Iranian people. But for everyone else who isn't Iranian, they'll just be thinking about diesel and petrol prices. But don‘t go thinking it's going to be back to the old days anytime soon. Just because Donald Trump has told the shipping companies to start their engines and get the oil flowing around the world again, the outfits that own and run the ships won't be quite so gung-ho. Global shipping company Maersk, which has 700 container ships and operates in more than 130 countries, is saying it's too early to know how the peace deal will impact logistics and maritime operations in the Middle East. And we know why that is. The risk of mines planted by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. Just the other day, the International Energy Agency said it could take a minimum of two to three months of mine clearing for things to get back to what they were before the war. Which is why the shipping companies will be telling the commander in chief to cool his jets when he tells them to start their engines. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI can finally write back to the plant floor, but only if you can trust it. Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu of Siemens explain how orchestration makes that safe.Industrial AI has reached a turning point. Manufacturers can already collect data, contextualize it, and surface insights, but the hardest step has always been turning insight into action on real control equipment. Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu of Siemens explain how an orchestration layer finally closes that loop. Annemarie frames the tension clearly. Automation depends on determinism, while large language models are probabilistic by design, so the goal is to bring that discipline into AI and validate any suggestion before it changes a set point.Most executive conversations start with return on investment, and two forces are making the case easier to prove. The workforce shortage has stretched the expected payback window from 18 months toward 36 months, and when a line cannot run for lack of people every idle minute costs thousands of dollars. The other driver is overall equipment effectiveness, since most plants run near 70 percent OEE and even a fraction of a percent of gain can justify a project. Energy is a standout case too. A BorgWarner sustainability effort used a digital twin to flatten demand peaks and reportedly paid for itself in under six months, even as data center growth pushes electricity demand higher through 2040.On trust and safety, Annemarie borrows a principle from industrial safety. Just as fail safe IO modules rely on two channel evaluation, every AI suggestion is validated against a state machine, a workflow, or a physics based digital twin before the orchestration layer passes it to a controller. With virtual commissioning and soft PLCs a change can be tested virtually, approved by a human in the loop, and only then written to control, an approach PepsiCo and NVIDIA echoed at CES when they called the digital twin a must have. Making AI real, the pair argue, comes down to discipline, clear scope, acceptance criteria, and focused 90 day challenges, plus the change management and user experience that drive adoption. Their favorite quick win is preventive maintenance driven by machine data, which both BorgWarner and Maersk tied to millions in savings.About Chris StevensChris Stevens is President of US Automation at Siemens, where he leads a roughly one billion dollar business spanning software, services, and hardware. He brings more than 25 years across Siemens Digital Industries, starting in the field selling assembly and test equipment, moving into the software and digital twin world, and returning to automation to bring the hardware and software sides of the business together.About Annemarie BreuAnnemarie Breu is a senior technology leader at Siemens Digital Industries focused on automation software deployment and customer technology partnerships in the US. She began at Siemens about a decade ago as a systems engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area, working with consumer electronics manufacturers on virtual commissioning and digital twins. Her work today centers on bringing the determinism and reliability of automation into industrial AI.Timestamps0:00 Introduction and Automate 2026 preview2:50 Meet Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu9:30 The first AI question is always ROI14:00 Workforce gaps and OEE drive the business case19:30 Energy management and the data center demand surge23:20 Data, sensors, and contextualization requirements28:00 Guardrails, hallucinations, and two channel validation32:40 The digital twin and the human in the loop37:40 How partners and integrators move up the stack45:30 What it takes to make AI real on the floor55:50 Preventive maintenance as a quick win59:40 Predictions, career advice, and book picksAbout Your HostsVladimir Romanov is a co-host of The Manufacturing Hub Podcast and the founder of Joltek, an independent manufacturing and industrial automation consulting firm specializing in modernization strategy, digital transformation, and workforce development.

The Closing Market Report from June 9, 2026, details a recent sell-off in commodity markets, with corn, soybean, and wheat prices returning to January lows due to the current absence of a weather premium. The upcoming WASDE report is expected to reflect strong export sales and potential adjustments to old crop carryouts, while technical support levels suggest potential short-term recovery bounces. In agricultural news, the Senate is developing legislation for year-round E15 sales to match a recently passed House bill, and the shipping company Maersk has successfully tested 100% ethanol as a bunker fuel in Rotterdam. Meanwhile, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is projected to reach its lowest volume since the 1980s, and a Wisconsin farmland auction yielded nearly $22,000 per acre. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of large-scale data centers in the Midwest has prompted significant local and state regulatory pushback regarding energy and water consumption, leading to temporary development moratoriums and the proposed repeal of tax incentives in states such as Illinois and Michigan. Finally, the agricultural weather forecast predicts severe thunderstorms and heat across the northern plains and upper Midwest, which will shortly be followed by a transition to cooler, drier conditions driven by air masses from south-central Canada.- Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com- WILLAg News Update for June 9, 2026- Lawmakers Rush to Regulate Data Center Development- Ag Weather with Don Day, DayWeather.com ★ Support this podcast ★
The global economy is fragmenting, and it could lead to a hit of $6 trillion to GDP worldwide. That's more than the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or the 2008 financial crisis. So what exactly is causing this fragmentation, and can the impacts be mitigated? Finance industry experts join us to explore the forces of fragmentation and examine a new report by the World Economic Forum and Oliver Wyman, which quantifies its impact and details the consequences on the global economy and emerging markets in particular. Guests: Matt Strahan, Private Market Initiatives Lead at the World Economic Forum Daniel Tannebaum, Global Anti-Financial Crime Practice Leader at Oliver Wyman Anne Walsh, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Guggenheim Partners Daniel Mminele, Chairman of Nedbank Links: Deepening Divides: The Cost of a More Fragmented Financial System: https://wef.ch/financialfragmentation26 Related podcasts: Chief Economists Outlook: counting the cost of the Hormuz crisis, with Maersk's Ilaria Maselli: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/chief-economists-outlook-maersk-ilaria-maselli/ The Iran oil shock: will it force the world to re-think the future of energy?: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/oil-shocks-hormuz-iran-columbia-energy-exchange-jason-bordoff/ The rise of industrial policy - why governments are back in the business of business: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/industrial-policy-trade-choke-points/ Welcome to Cold War Two: historian Niall Ferguson on geopolitics in 2026: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/niall-ferguson-geopolitics-cold-war/ Check out all our podcasts on wef.ch/podcasts: YouTube: - https://www.youtube.com/@wef/podcasts Radio Davos - subscribe: https://pod.link/1504682164 Meet the Leader - subscribe: https://pod.link/1534915560 Agenda Dialogues - subscribe: https://pod.link/1574956552
In this episode, we kick things off in Washington, where federal regulators have conditionally accepted the massive Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger application, but with major strings attached. The Surface Transportation Board accepted the merger paperwork Thursday, but only on the condition that the railroads submit significantly more information across nine distinct areas of concern by July twenty-seventh. Shares of both companies fell about five percent on the news, while the two Class I railroads argue the proposed transcontinental network will eliminate handoffs, convert two point one million truckloads to rail annually, and kickstart reindustrialization across a sprawling fifty-three thousand-mile network. We also explore how the ocean carrier Maersk is paying a hefty price for billing the wrong parties. The company has agreed to pay a one point nine million dollars civil penalty to the Federal Maritime Commission over detention charges that were billed to third parties who had not agreed to Maersk's bills of lading, service contracts, or tariffs. Under the settlement, Maersk agreed to stop the practice entirely, amend its U.S. tariff rules to strictly limit the definition of "merchant," and provide refunds and waivers to impacted third parties. Finally, we cover the major leadership shakeup at Hub Group following a massive accounting error that continues to reverberate. The logistics company announced Thursday that its chief financial officer and chief operating officer have both departed the company, though both will remain available on a consulting basis during the transition. The exits come as Hub Group is forced to restate results for twenty twenty-three and twenty twenty-four, on top of a previously flagged seventy-seven million dollars understatement of purchased transportation expenses for the first three quarters of twenty twenty-five.

As the World Economic Forum publishes its latest Chief Economists Outlook, Maersk's Head of Macro & Market Insights Ilaria Maselli gives her view on the state of the global economy. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, "the aorta of global fossil fuel trade", is one of the "biggest crises" in the history of capitalism, with huge implications for economies around the world, Maselli says. And we discuss how the impact of the Hormuz crisis compares to the shock that the COVID pandemic imposed on the world, in terms of economic growth and inflation.

Costs are about to skyrocket but it's far worse than just costs. The ability to obtain food, fertilizer and oil are about to collapse in a way never before seen in modern history. They are manufacturing a famine to force people into a ration-based digital ID system complete with social credit. Costs of potatoes alone went from 2.5 Euros to 18.5 Euros per 100kgs in a single month due to fertilizer shortages which farmers have been warning about for quite some time. Sulfuric acid is at a major deficit currently which leads to shortages of fertilizer as well as tools needed for mining and manufacturing across the board. This alone can cause a famine. On top of this however, we were already seeing an attack internationally on farmland as well as 73 year shortages of cattle head. Farm bankruptcies are up 46%. 70% of farmers cannot afford fertilizers. Diesel prices are up 60% in a year. President Trump recently said in an interview with Sean Hannity that high gas prices are the price we pay for Iran not having nuclear weapons. This is insanity. Meanwhile, engine oil is scarce and data centers are being built everywhere to complicate matters more. Water shortages will be a major problem in cities near data centers as people like Mike Adams has warned about on Natural News. This will hurt farms and industry while the data centers collect everyone's information in a massive surveillance database. They're creating a Hive Mind to help "solve" the very shortages they created in the first place. It just so happens that back in July of 2025, the DOE (Department of Energy) warned that we will see a 100x increase in blackout risks by 2030. That year isn't a coincidence. The United Nations planned for this years ago. It also just so happens that government run grocery stores are being established in New York and proposed in California and cities like Chicago. In the UK where they are pushing forward a digital ID mandate, they are attempting to police what foods you buy. This is one of the many steps towards the digital gulag system to come. From banks to energy and food, this system which the WEF has pushed for years is being adopted, quickly. It's up to you to actually take the warning and do something about it or sit there on your hands awaiting you dark fate. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

When Panama's Supreme Court ruled that Hong Kong-based conglomerate CK Hutchison's operation of two ports on either side of the Panama Canal was unconstitutional, President Jose Raul Mulina said at the time that he wasn't too concerned about China retaliating. Now, several months later, Mulina and other Panamanian officials are becoming increasingly concerned that this is precisely what's happening after China detained dozens of Panamanian-flagged vessels or "inspections." Separately, China called on the two shipping companies, Maersk and MSC, slated to take over operations of the Panamanian ports vacated by CK Hutchison, to reconsider — insinuating there could be severe consequences if they don't comply. Pedro Armada, managing partner at Armada Risk Consulting, is following the events closely from Panama City and joins Eric to discuss the increasingly difficult position the government finds itself in between the U.S. and an increasingly assertive China.
Pacific rates are flatlining but peak season signals are building, with freight futures pointing to a $900 per FEU jump on Asia-North Europe by July. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, global container demand fell 2.4% year-on-year in March, and Maersk posted a second consecutive quarter of negative EBIT.In this episode, Lars Jensen and Caroline Weaver cover:Rate movements across Asia-US West Coast, Asia-US East Coast, and Asia-North Europe, including what freight futures are signaling for peak seasonThe latest Hormuz developments including two new vessel attacks and the short-lived US military escort operationMarch global demand data: why the headline -2.4% masks a world that is otherwise still growing at 5-8%Maersk Q1 results and what two consecutive quarters of negative EBIT signals for carrier health

The White House says the war is over. The White House also says it's continuing in a new form. Two weeks after the launch of Project Freedom, only two Maersk ships took the offer. Roughly 900 ships remain trapped in the Persian Gulf, and the Saudis just declined to grant basing or overflight rights. Retired Lt. Gen.

Tony Fernandes, the chief executive of the low-cost carrier, has been speaking to the BBC. He says the current high fuel costs are more complex for the airline to manage than during the COVID-19 pandemic. Plus, Danish shipping giant Maersk says it will be able to adapt if charges are introduced for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. And the African nation of Madagascar is struggling to deal with fuel shortages as a result of the war in the Persian Gulf.
Een winst van bijna 7 miljard dollar, in één kwartaal. Meer dan een jaar geleden en meer dan het dubbele van het kwartaal ervoor. Het is ook meer dan waarop was gerekend. Shell, daar hebben we het over, profiteert van de oorlog in Iran en de daardoor opgelopen olieprijzen. Maar er is een maar. De beurskoers ging namelijk flink onderuit. Beleggers twijfelen hoe lang Shell nog kan profiteren van die hogere olieprijs. Ook reageren ze wat zuur op het cadeautje dat ze krijgen (de opkoop van eigen aandelen). Shell is iets minder royaal. Zijn beleggers te verwend of hebben ze een punt? Zoeken we voor je uit. Hebben we het ook over Pharming. Dat had een dramatische dag, nadat het met slecht nieuws kwam over 't belangrijkste medicijn, Ruconest. We kijken voor je naar deze sector: hoe gok je op het juiste paard uit de biotech-stal? Verder hebben we een heerlijk verhaal voor je over de topman van GameStop. Je weet wel, de man die eBay wil kopen. Voor de financiering heeft 'ie nog een variant gevonden: spulletjes verkopen op (jawel) eBay! Ook in deze uitzending: SBM Offshore verhoogt de winstverwachting Beleggers smullen van Samsung Maersk verwacht een golf aan inflatie Whirlpool vreest voor een recessie-achtige daling voor de industrie Te gast: Arend Jan Kamp van Stockwatch.nl BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

Daily Snippet vom 06.05.2026 Die Straße von Hormus ist für mich aktuell der zentrale Punkt. Iran drohte, Schiffe abzuschießen, doch Maersk bestätigte offenbar eine Durchfahrt mit US-Schutz. Der Markt hat darauf sehr konstruktiv reagiert. Aber politische Aussagen sind eine Sache, Marktpreise eine andere.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining Union Pacific's massive eighty-five billion dollar acquisition of Norfolk Southern and the railroad's newly disclosed conditions for walking away from the deal. UP has made clear it will abandon the merger if the Surface Transportation Board orders widespread trackage rights or line sales as approval conditions, though it would accept a requirement to spin off one duplicative main line between Kansas City and St. Louis. If burdensome conditions trigger Union Pacific's exit, it will owe Norfolk Southern a staggering two point five billion dollar breakup fee. Meanwhile, out on the water, a critical geopolitical milestone unfolded in one of the world's most strategic maritime chokepoints. A Maersk ro-ro carrier became the first U.S.-flag vessel to safely exit the Strait of Hormuz under American naval protection after months in the Persian Gulf. The Alliance Fairfax, operated by Farrell Lines and part of the Maritime Security Program, completed the high-stakes transit at a fraught time as the U.S. and Iran exchanged threats amid a fragile ceasefire. Finally, we explore Amazon's aggressive expansion into third-party logistics as the e-commerce giant officially rebranded its freight and fulfillment services under the unified Amazon Supply Chain Services umbrella and opened them to all businesses. Backed by over eighty thousand trailers and one hundred freighter aircraft, the move transforms Amazon into a direct competitor to traditional carriers, with early clients including Procter & Gamble and American Eagle Outfitters. Wall Street reacted sharply, sending UPS stock down nine point five percent on fears of massive disruption to the freight transportation industry.

Crossing the Cook Strait is about to get a whole lot more expensive for commercial operators and consumers. The Interislander is hiking its fuel surcharge to 54 percent on commercial vehicles and trucks crossing the Cook Strait due to soaring energy prices. International shipping company Maersk announced its own 27 percent fuel surcharge and Bluebridge adjusted its prices last month. As Alexa Cook reports, the high ferry fuel surcharge is going to hurt.

//The Wire//2300Z April 23, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: USA INTERCEPTS IRANIAN TANKER IN INDIAN OCEAN. CEASEFIRE IN LEBANON EXTENDED. US SECRETARY OF THE NAVY DEPARTS POSITION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Lebanon: This afternoon President Trump stated that the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel will be extended for another three weeks, while the diplomatic efforts with the Iranians continue.Persian Gulf: Following the Iranian targeting/boarding operations yesterday, nobody has attempted to transit the Strait of Hormuz. American efforts to conduct resupply and rearming operations throughout the region continue, as the Strait remains closed and no timeline for peace talks being conveyed by either side.Analyst Comment: Major shipping giants are planning for the Strait to be closed for some time. Maersk, the Danish shipping giant, stated that the Strait remains "firmly closed" due to the war. Which, although fairly obvious at this point, has been a very important realization for a major shipping company to acknowledge as the global economy begins settling in for the long haul.Indian Ocean: Overnight the Pentagon announced the maritime interdiction of the M/T MAJESTIC X off the coast of Sri Lanka, continuing the interception of Iranian-linked vessels exporting oil during the ceasefire. This vessel had been on the sanctions list for a many years, and was classified as a stateless vessel as she was using a falsified registration.-HomeFront-Louisiana: This afternoon a shooting was reported at the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge. Local authorities state that the initial investigation indicates this was a case of mutual combat between two groups, which engaged in a small arms skirmish in the food court after an argument. A total of 10x people were wounded during the attack, and as of this report a total of 3x shooters remain at large following the engagement.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Washington, last night Secretary of the Navy John Phelan departed his position, effective immediately. His deputy, Hung Cao, has stepped in to the role while a replacement is in the works. The reason for his departure has not been confirmed by official sources yet, and officially it is not clear as to if he resigned or was fired. Media speculation and "off the record" conversations among the press pool at the Pentagon has largely theorized that he was fired due to personality clashes with SECWAR Hegseth. Whatever the true reason for this departure, the head of the Navy leaving his position with no turnover or transition process at a time when the US Navy is engaged in a kinetic war, is not a sign indicative of stability at the upper echelons of command. Especially considering the military head of the Army, Gen. George, was also fired from his job as Army Chief of Staff and forced to retire two weeks ago.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//
US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of violating the current ceasefire, by firing at ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Lars Jensen, former director at Maersk, and now CEO at Vespucci Maritime spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Steve Hochman explains how geopolitical friction in the Strait of Hormuz creates delayed but powerful supply‑chain shocks beyond oil prices. He highlights how companies like Walmart (WMT), Schneider Electric, and Maersk are using AI and simulation tools to anticipate disruptions, manage inventories, and turn supply‑chain resilience into a competitive and earnings advantage.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this week's episode, Lesley and Fraser reflect on a weekend that saw thousands take to the streets of Edinburgh for the "Believe in Scotland" march. From the fair old "pech" up to Calton Hill to the "tremendously cheery" atmosphere at the front of the pack, we discuss why the energy of the independence movement is far from fading. We also look at the power of "normal" language as Brian Cox takes the stage, and why some politicians still struggle to connect without an iPhone in hand.We analyse the BBC's decision to use a massive national event merely as a backdrop for doorstepping politicians and what the appointment of an ex-Google boss as the new Director General means for the future of public service broadcasting. From the vital role of BBC Alba to the international reporting standards of Channel 4, we ask: who is actually telling our stories?.Plus, we dive into the Ferries as many folk look towards the Easter Weekend. We discuss activists targeting the Guga hunt in Ness, the ongoing and escalating energy crisis caused by Donald Trump's Iran War.LinksUpcoming film screenings https://lesleyriddoch.com/eventsSupport the podcast https://lesleyriddoch.com/podcast/subscribeFormer director of Maersk shipping predicting this could get as bad as the 1970s https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78lj4976lvoThe Parkinsons drugs warnings and excellent R4 progshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg0xxwn041oChannel 4 Seconder Kermani moving report on the paramedics kiled by the IDFhttps://www.channel4.com/news/funeral-for-two-young-lebanese-paramedics-killed-in-israeli-strikeDanish centrist government gubbedhttps://www.politico.eu/article/europe-social-democrats-losing-election/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=alert&utm_campaign=Why%20EuropeSurfing prog BBC Alba https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0021dn7Talking Up Scotland on ferries and islanders https://talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/03/30/scotland-subsidises-its-ferries-far-more-than-any-other-country-subsidises-island-life-far-more-than-any-other-part-and-the-mull-service-is-98-reliable-for-half-empty-vehicle-decks/ ★ Support this podcast ★
As war in the Middle East disrupts one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints, container shipping networks face unprecedented operational challenges. Rabab Boulos, Chief Operating Officer at A.P. Moller - Maersk, joins Kevin O'Marah, Chief Research Officer at Zero100, to discuss how the company is managing through extraordinary disruption in the Gulf – from suspending bookings and rerouting vessels to redesigning fuel supply chains in real time. Rabab shares Maersk's crisis management framework, how technology enables visibility when conditions change by the hour, and what it will take to restore normal service.
“We need to get back to something where freedom of navigation and peaceful navigation is restored, and that will depend on some kind of deal between the two sides in that war.” Jonathan Josephs speaks to Vincent Clerc, CEO of Maersk the world's second largest shipping company. The conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States has led to the closure of the vital Strait of Hormuz. It's one of the world's most important shipping routes which before this war, carried about a fifth of global oil supplies. Cargo ships there are being targeted, and seafarers have been killed. The disruption is halting the transport of vital cargo containers and pushing up energy prices. Countries in the Gulf region like Saudi Arabia, rely heavily on energy exports, and, Asia, where much of it is sold, will be hit hard. Food and fertiliser supplies are also being affected. It's not just the Strait of Hormuz that's being disrupted. Security threats mean shipping is also avoiding the Red Sea route through the Suez Canal, which because of the sheer volume of cargo traffic, is arguably more important to global trade. Vincent Clerc says the cost of war will have to be passed on, leading to higher prices for consumers around the world. Thank you to Jonathan Josephs for his help in making this programme.

How does understanding the anatomy of leadership help us navigate personal and organizational change more effectively? In this conversation, Kevin and Louisa Loran discuss that while transformation often feels large, complex, and organizational, it is ultimately experienced and enacted by one person at a time. Louisa describes leadership as a living system with four interconnected elements: envisioning what is possible, expanding curiosity to explore new options, steering decisively through priorities and choices, and embodying presence so others can trust and follow. They address how leaders can navigate change, especially when they don't fully agree with directions set from above. Louisa emphasizes that change is rarely black and white. Instead of resisting or disengaging, effective leaders find their own point of alignment, clarify how they can contribute meaningfully, and channel their energy toward what they can influence.

The world's biggest producer of crude oil, the Saudi firm Aramco, has warned of "catastrophic consequences" if the Straits of Hormuz is blocked for an extended period of time. But as war rages in the middle east, and attacks on shipping severely reduce the transportation of oil and gas, Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline has emerged as a critical piece of infrastructure in the global energy system. The CEO of Maersk speaks about the shipping industry's response to US/Israel war on Iran. And Leanna Byrne hears from India where a shortage of LPG is causing headaches for the food preparation industry.
