The Lloyd’s List Podcast: Dire straits for shipping
from Lloyd's List: The Shipping Podcast · host Lloyd's List
On this week’s podcast we’re taking another look at the latest developments for shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and examining Lloyd’s list’s latest analysis of the Top 100 box ports. British tankers may no longer subject to price discrimination on war risk insurance for trips to the Gulf, provided they are under naval escort when transiting the Strait of Hormuz, but that suggests a level of stability in the region that doesn’t yet exist. Despite the increasingly undiplomatic diplomacy shipping still looks to be caught in the middle of a macro turf war with few good options left open
