Background
There has been a major escalation in a long running diplomatic dispute that is impacting some of the GCC countries. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Yemen and Egypt severed diplomatic ties with Qatar on 5 June. The immediate impact has been the expulsion of diplomats from some states. The airline industry has also been hit hard with no direct flights between the countries and entry into airspace impacted. The land border has also been closed by Saudi Arabia which will result in more cargoes having to be moved to Qatar by sea.
Scope of Impact
From a shipping perspective, the largest impact will be in relation to seaborne trade from the UAE and Saudi Arabia as harbour masters and port authorities are not permitting vessels that fly the flag of Qatar, have sailed from Qatar or are intending to sail to Qatar to use their facilities. So far we have seen notices from all major UAE ports including Fujairah and its anchorage.

卡塔尔贸易
背景
随着长久以来的外交纷争升级，对海湾阿拉伯国家合作委员会(GCC)的成员国造成影响。6月5日，沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋、也门和埃及中断与卡塔尔的外交关系。直接影响是驱逐某些国家的外交官。同时，航空产业受到重创，国家间无直航飞机且影响飞入领空。沙特阿拉伯还关闭陆路口岸，这将导致更多货物将以海上运输方式运往卡塔尔。
影响范围
从航运角度来看，最大的影响将是，来自阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯的海上运输，因为港务长和港口当局不允许悬挂卡塔尔旗的船舶、来自或驶往卡塔尔的船舶使用港口设施。目前，我们已经看到了所有阿联酋主要港口的通知，包括富查伊拉及其锚地。
