The conflict in the Middle East continues to disrupt shipping across the region, including in the strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s busiest maritime routes.
Donald Trump has once again threatened to take control of the strait of Hormuz, as he announced the reimposition of a naval blockade on Iran and demanded a 20% tariff on all cargoes shipped through the key maritime passage.
We would like to hear from maritime workers, port staff and shipping crews or families aboard the ships affected. What is happening? How is the situation affecting your work? We would also like to speak to friends or family of those on board. What are you hearing? How are they coping?
