What to check on the cargo

• Verify the navigational warning, insurance scope and actual routing instead of trading the conflict headline.
• Separate war-risk premium, bunker and extra sailing days in the freight quote.

How to apply it to a cargo

• Breakwave Dry Bulk ETF $12.32 (-4.86%) tracks a freight-futures basket — a Handysize/Supramax voyage still needs a same-day tape.
• WTI $100.91/bbl (+1.45%) feeds bunker. A 10–14 day Cape of Good Hope diversion multiplies that burn.
