The Strait of Hormuz: what you need to know - The World Economic Forum Omani boats, known as dhows, head for the Strait of Hormuz Image: REUTERS Hamad I Mohammed Britain has called the capture of the Stena Impero in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday a “hostile act” Below are details about the Strait:
Why is the Strait of Hormuz so important? | World Economic Forum The Strait of Hormuz is a logical flashpoint for this geo-economic gamesmanship, due to its location and strategic value for so much of the world The hook-shaped waterway between Iran and Oman flows from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman – and beyond that to the Indian Ocean – and is considered the world’s most important oil transit chokepoint
These are the worlds most vital waterways for global trade The Hormuz Strait is wedged between Iran and Oman, and links the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea As the main shipping route for oil from the Middle East, the strait sees a fifth of the world’s oil consumption passing through it daily – around 21 million barrels It also carries 20% of global liquefied natural gas
These 6 maps show just how busy global shipping lanes are The Panama Canal is a man-made waterway that connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans For ships traveling from the east to west coast of the U S , this route avoids the far more treacherous Cape Horn at the tip of South America or the Bering Strait in the Arctic, and shaves off roughly 8,000 nautical miles—or 21 days off their journey
Will a regional conflict re-tangle global supply chains? The sea’s southern outlet, the Bab el-Mandeb (“Gate of Tears”) Strait, narrows to just 25 kilometers The Strait of Hormuz, on the other side of the Arabian Peninsula, narrows to about 50 kilometres and serves as a funnel for nearly a third of global oil consumption

The Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital chokepoint in global shipping, remains acutely vulnerable Though increased military presence might reduce the risk of attacks, it cannot guarantee the pre-crisis level of security for passing vessels
How safe are our supply chains from terrorist attack? The Strait of Hormuz is a particular cause for concern: situated between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran, almost 20% of global oil trade passes through there Oil transit chokepoints Major freight hubs might be targets for terrorist attacks, as well
The world’s most important trade route? | World Economic Forum The Strait of Malacca, which runs between Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, has long been a major gateway for trade to and from Asia, and is once again rapidly rising in importance Already the world’s second-busiest waterway it has been in continuous use since antiquity, with Roman, Greek, Chinese and Indian traders all taking advantage of this natural channel
