Oil Lifelines in Focus: Hormuz and Malacca as Global Supply Pressure Points
TL;DR Summary
A data-driven map highlights the world’s key oil chokepoints, led by the Strait of Malacca (~29 mb/d, ~29% of global maritime oil trade) and the Strait of Hormuz (~21 mb/d, about one-fifth of global oil consumption, with ~84% headed to Asia). Together these routes move roughly 73 mb/d, underscoring how disruptions at these narrow passages could ripple through global energy markets.
