Dire Straits for Commercial Shipping Understanding Insurance Coverage in Potential Choke Points
INSIGHTS NOVEMBER 2018 Dire straits for commercial shipping Understanding insurance coverage in potential choke points Concerns with the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Strait of Hormuz The Bab el-Mandeb Strait (or “Gate of Tears”) is at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. This narrow waterway must be navigated by all commercial vessels trading between Europe and Asia in order to avoid the far longer, time-consuming, and thus more costly routes around southern Africa or through the Panama Canal. Perim Island is situated close to the Yemeni side of the strait, which means that most international shipping, both north and southbound, keeps to designated shipping lanes to the west, or Djibouti With over 90% of international trade being carried by sea, side, of this island.

Rising the Persian Gulf Black-Lip Pearl Oyster to the Species Level: Fragmented Habitat and Chaotic Genetic Patchiness in Pinctada Persica

Cunha, email address : [email protected] Abstract : Marine organisms with long pelagic larval stages are expected to exhibit low genetic differentiation due to their potential to disperse over large distances. Growing body of evidence, however, suggests that marine populations can differentiate over small spatial scales. Here we focused on black-lip pearl oysters from the Persian Gulf that are thought to belong to the Pinctada margaritifera complex given their morphological affinities. This species complex includes seven lineages that show a wide distribution ranging from the Persian Gulf (Pinctada margaritifera persica) and Indian Ocean (P. m. zanzibarensis) to the French Polynesia (P. -
5Th Pipeline Technology Conference 2010
5th Pipeline Technology Conference 2010 The next generation of oil and gas pipelines - who, what, where and when.... Julian Lee Senior Energy Analyst Centre for Global Energy Studies UK Abstract This paper seeks to identify the next wave of major oil and gas pipeline construction projects around the world, assessing which countries are likely to be able to turn their plans for new pipelines into real, bankable projects. It is not a comprehensive, or exhaustive, list of new pipeline projects. There is no shortage of new oil and gas pipeline proposals that are keeping project sponsors, industry analysts and conference organisers busy. Many of them are grand in their ambition, many seek to meet the political ends of their sponsors, many cross several international borders, and all will compete for capital and resources. Many of tomorrow’s oil and gas supplies are being developed in areas that are remote from existing infrastructure, far from markets or export terminals. Tomorrow’s big, new hydrocarbons consumers live in countries that are only just beginning to develop their oil and gas import and transmission infrastructures, while traditional markets are stagnating. Politics, too, is playing its part, as old alliances are tested and both buyers and sellers seek security of supply and greater diversification. 1. The evolving geography of oil and gas The geography of oil and gas trade is changing. Big new oil and consumers are emerging. The centre of energy demand growth has shifted dramatically from West to East. At the same time, new centres of oil and gas production are also emerging. -

O’Neil Caitlin Talmadge Costs and Difªculties of Blocking the Strait of Hormuz To the Editors (William D. O’Neil writes): Caitlin Talmadge’s analysis of the threat of Iranian action to close the Strait of Hormuz is not only timely but provides many valuable insights.1 Several aspects of this complex issue call out for further clariªcation, however. costs of closure To begin, Talmadge should have put greater emphasis on the costs that Iran would al- most surely bear in the wake of any closure attempt. Unless the Iranians were able to convince the world that it was an act essential for self-defense, closure would inºame opinion widely against them. Closing the strait would be seen not only as a serious vio- lation of international norms but, worse yet, one that directly and signiªcantly touched the interests of most states, virtually making it a campaign of piracy. -
Geotourism Attractions of Hormuz Island, Iran

GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, 28(1), 232–245. https://doi.org/10.30892/gtg.28118-465 Abstract: Hormuz Island is a salt dome situated in the Persian Gulf waters near the mouth of Hormuz Strait in Hormuzgan province, at 8 kilometers distance from Bandar Abbas. The island is elliptical, and its rock is mostly of the igneous and often volcanic type. Hormuz is one of the most beautiful Islands of the Persian Gulf due to its geological phenomena and related landforms. This island is a mature salt diapir with great mineralogical and lithological diversity. In this research, we focused on fieldwork, which included data gathering and taking photographs and also a review of the published papers and books. The main geotourism attractions of the island include various landforms resulted from differential erosion, as well as very attractive geomorphologic structures such as rocky and sandy beaches, sea caves, colorful salt domes, coral reefs, etc. -
