In this episode of What’s Going on With Shipping, host Sal Mercogliano recaps the first 12 weeks of the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz blockade. As we reach the three-month mark, we look back at how the situation evolved from initial disruptions and insurance cancellations to a full-blown “Schrödinger’s Strait” scenario with competing blockades and a global supply chain in disarray.
Has the global shipping industry reached a breaking point, or is a resolution finally in sight?
