On day six of the Middle East war, hope of a swift reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is fading. There does not seem to be a quick fix. A material return of transits in the future will require shipowners to be convinced that the route is safe for their crew and vessel assets
Stay safe out there, to any crew currently bunkered down in the Gulf. The politics might be complicated, but the physics of a closed strait are brutally simple.

I’m seeing reports of 'sophisticated GPS interference' too. That’s the scary part. When the digital charts go fuzzy, you’re flying blind in a shooting gallery. It’s a stark reminder that our global economy doesn't run on 'the cloud', it runs on 1,000-foot hulls moving through a 21-mile-wide gap in the dirt.

Down there, 40 miles off the coast, the water doesn't recognize a 'prize ship' or a military objective. It just sees steel and wood and the same cold pressure for everyone. My thoughts are with the sailors out there. No matter what the briefing room says, no sailor deserves to go down in the dark.

In the shipping world, we get caught up in the 'geopolitics' the Strait of Hormuz routes, the insurance premiums, the sanctions. But seeing those reports about the recovery teams in Galle… it’s a brutal reminder of the ocean's indifference to our flags and our conflicts.
