Independent intelligence for global trade
Chokepoint Logistics is an independent trade publication covering maritime chokepoints, freight, war-risk insurance and the policy that reshapes commodity routes.
Chokepoint Logistics covers Suez, Bab el-Mandeb, the Strait of Hormuz, Malacca, the Turkish Straits and the Panama Canal: transit fees, war-risk insurance premiums, freight and the economics of detours. We follow physical commodity routing around geopolitical restrictions and rerouted product flows for traders, charterers, insurers, port operators and policymakers.
What we publish
Daily market reporting, weekly analysis, interviews with people who move cargoes, and dedicated coverage hubs for the companies we follow closely. Every story carries a content label — original reporting, aggregated coverage, press release, contributed or sponsored — so you always know what you are reading.
How we work
Reporting is sourced from named market participants, official filings, exchange and regulator data, and reputable trade sources. Where a story is built on another publication's work, we say so and link to it in an attribution footnote. We do not publish anonymous allegations about the companies we cover.
Independence
Commercial relationships never determine coverage. Sponsored material is labelled as such, is never written by the newsroom, and never appears as news.
