If Strait of Hormuz Closes: The World's Alternative Oil Routes

Описание: The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important chokepoints in global energy trade.

If this narrow passage becomes unavailable, oil exports from the Persian Gulf must rely on limited alternatives such as pipelines to the Red Sea or ports outside the Gulf. Some shipments may even take much longer sea routes around Africa.

These alternatives help keep oil moving — but they are slower, more expensive, and cannot fully replace the Strait of Hormuz.
