Given the disruption caused by the Houthis, how much worse could it really get in terms of maritime chokepoint vulnerabilities?

Decarbonisation commitments, demand signals and pledges are great, but the true test of progress will be within shipping companies themselves and right now the vast majority are not clear what their strategy is.

Ukraine’s Black Sea corridor is an undeniable success. Ships are sailing into and out of Ukraine outside of an international agreement and most importantly without direct Russian interference. It is a critical route for grain export and many countries besides Ukraine have a vested interest in its continued operation. Ukraine says the military is key to the corridor functioning.
