| Fuel costs and rerouting | Continued Red Sea disruptions → higher costs and volume shortfalls. | Normalized routes → lower fuel costs and better margins. |
| Chinese vehicle exports | Tariffs on Chinese EVs → lower transport volumes. | Increased Chinese exports → higher demand for RoRo capacity. |
