World Transit Chokepoints
Bulk cargo, and in particular oil, transported by sea generally follows a fixed set of maritime routes that transit several geographic "chokepoints," or narrow channels. These include points such as the Strait of Hormuz (leading out of the Persian Gulf) and the Strait of Malacca (linking the Indian Ocean with the Pacific Ocean). Other important maritime "chokepoints" include the Panama Canal (connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans), the Suez Canal (connecting the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea), and the Bab el-Mandab passage (from the Arabian Sea to the Red Sea). "Chokepoints" are critically important to world trade because so much traffic passes through them, and they should be considered as important areas for ENC coverage.
