Sea and air corridors into the UK Passages |
A passage is a narrow place cargo must use. If it clogs, ships go the long way, or urgent goods go by air. Time and cost move.
|
Strait of Hormuz — the Gulf energy gate. |
|
Suez and the Red Sea — the short road from Asia. Open, still thin. |
|
Cape of Good Hope — the long road. Default for many Asia–UK boxes. |
|
Gibraltar and the Channel — the last sea gates before UK ports. |
|
Black Sea — grain, oilseeds and some fuel. |
