Arctic Shortcut
July 31, 2024
In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - a maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner - discusses the development of the Russian Arctic route and its use by China and Russia as an Arctic Express Route. We also discuss the potential for Iran and Hezbollah to interdict other maritime chokepoints - Strait of Hormuz and Suez Canal - and what that could mean for global shipping and the viability of the Arctic Route.
