    A thaw is coming to global shipping – but it’s not in Hormuz or Bab Al Mandeb | The National (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    With daily vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz still down to a trickle, and now the Red Sea and the Suez Canal routes vulnerable to the Houthis’ threat on the Bab Al Mandeb strait, there is greater interest than ever in alternative shipping routes. One that has been talked about for years, although with no great expectation that it would amount to much any time soon, is the Northern Sea Route – or NSR – through the Arctic.
