Crisis Response · Operating Status · June 2026
Operational response capability, activated.
Since early March 2026, the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed to most commercial traffic. Major lines have suspended transits, and cargo across the region is rerouting overland and through alternative ports. We're operating normally. Tell us what you're moving and a named relationship manager will walk you through the routing options. Reach the right desk below.
What we're doing
Routing around the closure.
No force majeure, no silence. Where the sea lane is blocked, we build the alternative - and quote it.
-
01
Khorfakkan-Oman land corridor activated for GCC-bound cargo, bypassing the strait entirely.
-
02
Alternative discharge ports and multimodal reroutes planned per shipment, not by default.
-
03
Time-critical cargo and dry-dock ship spares prioritised, with customs prepared ahead of arrival.
-
04
Vessel husbandry, crew changes and supply continuing across UAE anchorages and ports.

Case study
Personnel evacuation through Fujairah International Airport.
During the 2026 regional conflict, Rapid was tasked with a time-critical mission: the safe and comfortable transit of over 50 employees and their families through Fujairah International Airport.
Seamless Ground Transport
Fleet coordinated and staged from origin to terminal - timed to the minute against departure windows and group movement.
Baggage Management
Full bag tagging and handling for all travellers, including families - reducing pressure on a group moving under stress.
Boarding Assistance
Rapid personnel present and guiding through every checkpoint - immigration, security, boarding - with no one left without support.
Human Comfort
Blankets, essentials and basic provisions sourced and distributed - because a crisis evacuation is still a human experience.
The operation ran without incident. Every traveller cleared, every piece of baggage accounted for, all families together on departure. This is the kind of work that doesn't appear in rate cards.
