The world’s main energy arteries are under pressure.

The old energy map was built on the assumption that the Strait of Hormuz would keep functioning reliably. The conflict in the Middle East has shattered that certainty.

Now, the Red Sea and Black Sea routes are also under strain, forcing producers to find new ways to keep oil moving.

Fuel markets remain tight and the economic fallout is spreading.
