Major Choke Points of oceans that can affect global economy | Oneindia News*Explainer

Today, on this date i.e 17th November 1869, one of the most important canal that serves as a vital link to oceanic transportation had become operational.

Suez Canal is considered to be the shortest link between the east and the west due to its unique geographic location.

It is an important international navigation canal linking Mediterranean sea and the Red sea.

It is also the shortest shipping link between Europe and Asia.

It’s importance can be gauged by the fact that a few years back, when a cargo ship named Ever Given got stuck in it, the world had to endure losses of around 10 billion dollars everyday.

Infact this is not the only route that affects the global economy and is capable of causing massive economic losses if it gets blocked.

In this video, we bring to you 3 of the world’s most vulnerable oceanic choke points...which if blocked in any circumstances can prove catastrophic for global economy and oil transportation.
