Summary
Just weeks after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz sent shockwaves through energy markets, attention has now shifted to the Bab el Mandeb Strait, where renewed threats against commercial shipping are creating fresh uncertainty for global oil flows. In this latest episode of Strait Talk, host Tom Reed is joined by John Ollett, Head of EMEA Freight, and Nader Itayim, Head of Dubai Editorial, to examine the evolving crisis and its implications for crude markets, freight, shipping routes and regional supply dynamics.
