Executive summary
Hanseatic Global Terminals has signed SANY for the STS and RTG crane package at its Aracruz greenfield in Brazil — a live crane-electrification attach window at a named customer. The Panama Canal Authority has begun evaluating operators for its Corozal and Telfers terminal concessions, opening a multi-year equipment pipeline. And the Hormuz standstill deepened: southern-route transits fell to single digits as the US-Iran ceasefire collapsed, keeping tanker markets and Gulf flows under strain.
