Global Shipping Under Threat
Global shipping routes are under siege. Are we ready for a massive supply chain crisis? 🚢
What the video says
138 ships used to sail through the Strait of Hormuz every single day. Now, a critical waterway is choked, as geopolitical conflicts force global supply chains into war room planning.
An interim deal on June 17th officially reopened the strait, but shipping traffic remains well below pre-conflict levels. The escalation is widespread: on June 8th, Houthi rebels announced a complete ban on Israeli ships transiting the Red Sea.
Other global chokepoints face severe pressure. Donald Trump has repeatedly called for the U.S.
to regain control of the Panama Canal to counter Chinese influence. Meanwhile, the stakes in Asia are staggering.
A Bloomberg analysis projects that a Chinese air and sea blockade of Taiwan would prompt a 5% fall in global GDP.
