THESIS & EVIDENCE
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Positive sentiment and strong momentum across maritime transport themes , favour selective long exposure to tanker-related names while managing container and trucking downside with tight risk controls.

1. Intermittent incidents and heightened risk persist through 2025, keeping insurance and security costs elevated with periodic diversions.
   Red Sea / Suez security incidents and phased reopening | Medium

2. Freight rates remain structurally under pressure through 2026 with occasional spikes driven by disruptions.
   Weak container demand versus large orderbook and capacity growth | Medium

3. Sanctions and shadow fleet dynamics sustain elevated utilisation and volatile earnings for 6–18 months.
   Sanctions-driven trade re-routing, oil-on-water growth and elevated tanker earnings | Medium

RISK/REWARD SCENARIOS
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Upside: Security incidents subside and Suez returns close to normal operations within 3–6 months, compressing risk premia and normalising schedules.
Downside: Escalation forces prolonged large-scale diversions away from Suez, structurally tightening effective capacity and raising freight rates across multiple trades.
Ratio: 1:0.0
Expected: 15.5%
