Arctic Shortcut | Russian Northern Route | What If Iran & Hezbollah Interdict More Chokepoints?

Arctic Shortcut July 31, 2024 In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - a maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner - discusses the development of the Russian Arctic route and its use by China and Russia as an Arctic Express Route. We also discuss the potential for Iran and Hezbollah to interdict other maritime chokepoints - Strait of Hormuz and Suez Canal - and what that could mean for global shipping and the viability of the Arctic Route. #supplychain #shipping #arctic #redsea #houthi #iran #hormuz #hezbollah #suez Support What's Going on With Shipping via: Patreon: www.patreon.com/wgowshipping Twitter: @mercoglianos Facebook: @wgowshipping Email: [email protected] Marine Traffic marinetraffic.com Chinese Container Ships Take Arctic Shortcut Avoiding Red Sea https://gcaptain.com/chinese-containe...
