April 2026 Shipping & Logistics
April 2026 moved Gulf maritime systems from open-use assumptions toward governed access. The strongest signals were conditional transit through the Strait of Hormuz and an enforced permission regime over Iranian port access.

April 2026 Global Mining Node
April 2026’s clearest mining signal was chemical continuity across the Central African copperbelt. Delayed reagent flows in the DRC and tighter sulphuric-acid availability from Zambia constrained mining continuity across extraction and smelting-support layers.

2026 March Shipping Bulk Ore Node Report
March 2026 bulk ore movement report: Pilbara cyclone-related loading disruption constrained iron ore export continuity, while Hormuz corridor instability diverted bauxite and alumina cargoes and impaired Gulf intake reliability.

2026 March Global Mining Intelligence Node
March 2026 mining intelligence report: South African ferrochrome continuity remained power-conditioned despite tariff relief, with electricity-cost governance acting as the binding control point on domestic processing and directly driving evidenced industrial job-cut pressure.

2026 March - Shipping & Logistics Node
March 2026 shipping and logistics intelligence: the Strait of Hormuz shifted into security-conditioned access, while Red Sea and Suez recovery reversed into renewed Cape-routing behaviour. This report tracks corridor access, routing geometry, and maritime operating risk.

2026 February Shipping Bulk Ore Node
February 2026 bulk ore movement was shaped by Weda Bay RKAB compression, which tightened lawful nickel ore mobility at origin, and by Red Sea managed-access conditions, which weakened route certainty for exposed dry-bulk mineral voyages.

2026 February Shipping & Logistics Node
February 2026 showed a divided maritime picture: Red Sea–Suez stayed constrained by risk and managed access, while the Panama Canal regained usable capacity under reservation control. The decisive operator issue was determinism, not formal openness.

2026 February - Global Mining Intelligence Node
February 2026’s key mining signal was Indonesia’s RKAB compression at PT Weda Bay Nickel, with the Moa fuel disruption showing the clearest mining-to-refining continuity cascade.

2025-01 - Shipping Bulk Ore Node Report
January 2026 showed bulk ore still moving, but under tighter controls. Indonesia’s delayed RKAB approvals and lower nickel permit envelope constrained ore flow at origin, while Panama improved corridor usability only within a managed reservation and water-limited regime.

2025-01- Elite Raven Intelligence — Shipping & Logistics Node
January 2026 kept shipping systems moving, but not fully predictable. The Red Sea and Panama both stayed usable under tighter operating constraints.

Mining Raven Report — January 2026 (Global Mining Intelligence)
January 2026 mining was shaped by control-layer shifts, not isolated site events. Indonesia’s delayed RKAB approvals and tighter nickel permit envelope constrained extraction and ore availability, while Cobre Panamá’s stockpile pathway supported environmental-risk mitigation.
