Il trasporto marittimo ostaggio dello stretto di Hormuz

The Gulf War threatens to bring the international economy to its knees. Maritime transport is on its knees, with freight costs doubling in recent months and insurance premiums rising tenfold. These burdens are difficult for distribution chains to absorb, thus threatening recession, inflation, and—the latest warning from the FAO—even a global food catastrophe, given the volume of goods typically transiting that area. But which sectors are most at risk, and what countermeasures can shipping, logistics, and freight forwarding companies take? We discuss this in this episode of Real Economy with our guests: Oliviero Baccelli, Professor of Transport Economists at Bocconi University, and Alessandro Pitto, President of Federspedi. And, as always, with the numbers explained clearly by Anna Migliorati.
