Podcasts about tankers

Tanker traffic dries up, oil, gas and fertilizer prices soar, and the world holds its breathThe Strait of Hormuz has long been discussed as one of the single greatest vulnerabilities in global energy supply. Now the risk has become reality. Host Ed Crooks is joined by Amy Myers Jaffe, Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, and Chris Aversano, Director of Maritime Partnerships at Wood Mackenzie, to assess what the disruption means for energy markets, supply chains, and the people at the centre of it all.Oil prices briefly spiked to around $119 a barrel before falling back. European natural gas prices have nearly doubled. But those numbers only tell part of the story. In normal times, between 150 and 175 ships would pass through the Strait of Hormuz every day. Since the war began, that has fallen to perhaps 10 to 12 a day. The Strait is a vital artery for the world's energy and fertilizer supplies. If it is blocked for long, the results could be catastrophic.Amy puts the market's reaction in context. She has been studying the Strait of Hormuz since the 1990s, and says that although the geography is still the same, the technology is different. The threat from drones, drone boats, and other weapons of asymmetric warfare may be harder to neutralise than the weapons that shaped earlier thinking. As she puts it, modern threats to shipping are “not your father's Oldsmobile”.Chris highlights the human dimension of the conflict. An estimated 20,000 seafarers are currently trapped inside the war zone, alongside a further 15,000 people on cruise ships and ferries. Seven merchant mariners have been killed so far, in 13 confirmed or suspected attacks. These are civilians, Chris reminds us: workers sending money home to countries such as the Philippines, Bangladesh and India, or in Eastern Europe, who never expected to find themselves victims of an armed conflict.The discussion also gets into the practicalities of what it would take to restore flows through the Strait. The US government has announced a $20 billion insurance facility to cover hull, machinery and cargo for ships in the Gulf. As Chris explains, that still leaves indemnity insurance, covering liability for spills and other damage, entirely unaddressed. A fully-laden VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) tanker and its cargo is worth upwards of $300 million. Cleaning up a spill of its cargo of 2 million barrels of oil could cost multiples of that.Routes to bypass the Strait of Hormuz are already being activated. Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline to Yanbu, on the Red Sea coast, has seen throughput surge from around 730,000 barrels a day to as much as 2.5 million b/d. The UAE pipeline to Fujairah offers additional relief. But as Amy makes clear, these routes cannot come close to replacing the Strait of Hormuz in full. They do not help Iraq or Kuwait. They carry no LNG. And for refined products, there is no pipeline alternative at all.The episode closes with a broader look at what this crisis means for the future of energy. Amy argues that it reinforces the case for clean technology: when an oil price shock arrives, investment in renewables, EVs, and energy storage tends to follow. Ed points to Europe, now seeing its gas prices spike for the second time in four years, as a place where the arguments for renewables, nuclear, transmission, and demand response are becoming even harder to ignore. Green hydrogen could also benefit, thanks to potential for replacing natural gas in fertilizer supply chains.

"Volkswagen ist ein fast nicht mehr regierbarer Tanker" - und Porsche erlebt laut eines Experten sogar "eine Katastrophe". Währenddessen spricht Konzernchef Oliver Blume von einem "gemischten Bild". Doch nicht nur die Autoindustrie steht unter Druck: Bauernpräsident Joachim Rukwied fordert wegen des Iran-Krieges "einen Anstieg der Preise um 25 bis 30 Prozent für unsere Produkte". Und ein Schokoladenhersteller zeigt derweil, wie sich höhere Preise durchsetzen und der Gewinn steigern lassen. Dieser Podcast wird vermarktet von Julep Media: sales@julep.de

Jeden Tag fahren drei bis vier oft schrottreife Tanker im Auftrag von Moskau durch Nord- und Ostsee, um westliche Sanktionen zu umgehen. Küstenländer wie Deutschland haben einiges zu tun, um sie zu stoppen.

«Taushet overfor ondskap er ondskap i seg selv: Gud vil ikke anse oss som uskyldige. Å ikke snakke er å snakke. Å ikke handle er å handle.» Disse ordene ble skrevet av den tyske teologen og presten Dietrich Bonhoeffer, som ble henrettet av nazistene i 1945.Jeg tror Bonhoeffer hadde lagt merke til at mange kristne ser ut til å gjemme seg bak korset. At vi tror at det er nok å tie, at man er god hvis man ikke er aktivt ond selv.Men å lukke øynene for ondskap er faktisk å gi ondskapen fritt spillerom, mener Bonhoeffer. Hvis ingen griper inn for å stoppe ondskapen, hvordan kan vi forvente at ondskapen skal opphøre?Så la oss lytte til Guds kall, tre ned fra tribunen, ta på oss Guds kamptrøye og delta etter beste evne i kampen mot den.Velkommen til å lytte til våre tanker før søndagen!______________________________3. søndag i fastetidenSkriv til engelen for menigheten i Laodikea:Dette sier han som er Amen, det trofaste og sannferdige vitnet, begynnelsen til alt som Gud har skapt: Jeg vet om dine gjerninger – du er verken kald eller varm. Om du bare var kald eller varm! Men du er lunken, ikke varm og ikke kald. Derfor skal jeg spytte deg ut av min munn. Du sier: «Jeg er rik, jeg har overflod og mangler ingenting.» Men du vet ikke at nettopp du er elendig og ynkelig, fattig, blind og naken. Derfor gir jeg deg det råd at du kjøper gull av meg, renset i ild, så du kan bli rik, og hvite klær som du kan kle deg med og skjule din nakne skam, og salve til å smøre på øynene dine, så du kan se.Jeg refser og irettesetter alle dem jeg har kjær. La det bli alvor og vend om!Johannes' åpenbaring 3:14-19

President Trump says the US Navy will escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz "if necessary", after shipping traffic almost entirely halted through the key sea passage following Iranian threats to "set fire" to ships. We hear the latest on shipping in the region.We also head to Lebanon as hostilities between Israel and the Iran-backed group Hezbollah continue to escalate. What does this mean for the future of the country? And OpenAI says it's rewriting parts of what it calls an “opportunistic and sloppy” deal with the US government over the use of its AI in classified military operations.(PHOTO: Tankers are seen off the coast of the Fujairah, as Iran vows to close the Strait of Hormuz, amid the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran, in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, March 3, 2026.

For several years, Iran, Venezuela, and Russia have relied on a sprawling network of aging tankers—known as the shadow fleet—to keep their oil flowing despite Western sanctions. Now, the EU is proposing its most aggressive move yet: a sweeping ban on maritime services that could cut off insurance, brokerage, and port access for vessels carrying Russian crude. This comes at a time when the Venezuelan shadow fleet has largely been replaced by mainstream tanker operators, while the US continues to impose new restrictions on Iranian vessels. Both developments raise fresh questions about the future of these rogue tankers. In this episode of Energy Evolution, host Eklavya Gupte explores whether the shadow fleet can survive tighter sanctions and what the consequences might be for global energy security, trade flows, and environmental safety. Joining the conversation are Kelly Norways and Max Lin, two journalists from Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, who have been tracking the shadow fleet's evolution over the past few years. They break down the mechanics of this shipping network, explain how the EU's proposed ban differs from the price cap system, and reveal the growing risks posed by a fleet of vessels operating outside international safety standards.

US President Donald Trump says Iran now has no navy, no air force and no air defences because they've all been knocked out by the US and Israel.He says the US navy is prepared to start escorting oil and gas tankers through the Strait of Hormuz to counter rising energy prices as a result of the escalating middle east war.But he also told journalists at the White House he believed Iran was going to attack first, which is at odds with with comments from his secretary of state Marco Rubio, and causing confusion around the reasons for the US going to war.The Foreign Minister says a flight is scheduled to depart from Dubai to Sydney this morning, but will depend on airspace remaining safe.The government estimates there are up to 115-thousand Australians in the Middle East - which includes residents and those in transit, with many stranded due to the ongoing conflict.Penny Wong says the best way to get people out is to resume commercial flights.Liberals have called billionaire James Packer's donation to conservative group 'Advance' a worrying sign.Mr Packer hadn't made a political donation for more than a decade until his $150 thousand contribution to Advance in 2024.Liberal MPs say its more evidence of the conservative lobby group's growing influence.

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:The sky over Tehran burned at 0300, but the outcome had been scripted hours earlier in the dark. We pull back the curtain on Operation Epic Fury to show how a fifth‑generation architecture—Raptors, Lightnings, carriers, growlers, drones, and tireless tanker crews—shaped the fight before the first Tomahawk ever left its tube. This isn't a tale of single jets and hero shots; it's a story about networks, timing, and the people who turn stealth and software into real‑world advantage.We map the geometry that mattered: twin carrier strike groups bracketing the battlespace, tankers pushing forward to convert reach into persistence, and stealth assets slipping into place across Europe and the Levant. From there, the tempo shifts. F‑22s imposed a pressure dome at altitude—first look, first shot—while F‑35s fractured radar coherence and fed clean targeting data across the force. Growlers flooded the air with interference, Tomahawks followed digital corridors, and drones provided affordable mass. Instead of waves of suppression and then strike, dominance and destruction happened at once, often from the same airframes. The result: chaos for defenders, clarity for attackers, and a strike that felt almost procedural.We also spotlight the human engine beneath the tech. Maintainers nursed low‑observable coatings and tight tolerances under expeditionary pressure. Pilots managed sensor fusion and electronic attack while keeping the clock on their side. Tanker crews flew predictable tracks through unpredictable skies, extending range, options, and time on station. And we wrestle with the big question: if the decisive fight is now architectural—won in the invisible hour—how do layered defenses adapt? Can massed drones or hardened, distributed sensors bend that curve back?Listen for a ground‑truth breakdown that blends strategy, logistics, and cockpit realities. If this shift fascinates you, follow, share with a friend who loves airpower analysis, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show. Got a counter‑strategy we didn't cover?

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump said the bombing campaign against Iran will continue until its objectives are achieved, calling on the nation’s leaders to capitulate as a report indicated at least one top official in Tehran sought to resume nuclear talks with the US. Trump on Sunday re-confirmed the death of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and said the US and Israel had struck hundreds of targets in Iran including Revolutionary Guard facilities and air defenses. The US military’s Central Command announced Sunday that three US service members were killed and five “seriously wounded” during operations against the Islamic Republic, but gave no further details. Trump, who campaigned for the presidency on a pledge not to endanger American troops in the Middle East, called their deaths part of “the righteous mission” in a video posted on social media. “There will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is.”2) Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are stepping up criticism of Iran’s regional attacks, while Gulf states consider coordinating efforts to halt what they’ve called “treacherous” and “heinous” actions by Tehran. Ministers from Gulf Cooperation Council nations held an extraodinary meeting on Sunday to review damages from Iran’s strikes on countries spanning from the UAE to Bahrain, Qatar and Oman, and consider necessary steps to restore stability and peace to the Middle East, according to a statement from state-run Saudi Press Agency. The states affirmed their right to respond to respond to Iran in “self-defense, either individually or collectively” and said GCC members “will take all necessary measures to defend their security and stability and to protect their territories, citizens, and residents, including the option to respond to the aggression.”3) Oil surged the most in four years as traders gauged the impact of the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz triggered by US and Israeli strikes against Iran, with hostilities escalating across the region. Global benchmark Brent was more than 9% higher near $80 a barrel, after earlier rallying by as much as 13% to the highest since January 2025. Tanker traffic through the strait — the chokepoint off Iran’s coast that handles a fifth of the world’s oil and large volumes of gas — has largely halted, with a self-imposed pause in place by shipowners and traders as the conflict spreads.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As war escalates in the Middle East and Iran's security forces order ships not to cross the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices have surged this Monday, putting pressure on global markets. In this edition, we speak to Jorge León of Rystad Energy to better understand the forces that are bringing benchmark energy prices higher. 

In this episode of Preble Hall, Tom Duffy discusses his new book, Tanker War in the Gulf: Operation Earnest Will, Diplomacy and Seapower in Practice, with Dr. John Sherwood. During the Tanker War, Duffy was a naval officer aboard the U.S.S. Cochrane (DDG-21). He later served as a diplomat with the State Department for 32 years.

Our Global Commodities Strategist Martijn Rats discusses the geopolitical drivers behind the recent spike in oil prices and outlines four Iran scenarios.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Martijn Rats, Morgan Stanley's Global Commodities Strategist.Today – what's fueling the latest oil market rally.It's Thursday, February 26th, at 3pm in London.What happens when oil prices jump, even though there's no actual shortage of oil? That's the situation we're in right now. Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated again. Naturally, markets are paying attention.Over the past week, Brent crude rose about $3 to around $72 per barrel. WTI climbed into the mid-$60s. Shipping costs surged. And traders have started paying a premium for protection against a sudden oil spike – the levels we haven't seen since the early days of the Ukrainian invasion.But here's the key point: there's no clear evidence that global oil supply has tightened. Exports are still flowing. Tankers are still moving. And some near-term indicators of physical tightness have actually softened. When oil is truly scarce, buyers scramble for immediate barrels and short-term prices spike relative to future delivery. Instead, those spreads have narrowed, and physical premiums have eased.This isn't a supply shock. It's a risk premium. In simple terms, investors are buying insurance. So what could happen next? We see four broad scenarios.Before I outline them though, here's something we do not see as a core case: a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Roughly 15 million barrels per day of crude and another 5 million of refined product moves through that corridor. A sustained shutdown would be enormously disruptive. But we think the probability is very low.Now coming back to our four scenarios. The first is straightforward. A negotiated settlement; conflict is avoided. Iranian exports continue and shipping lanes remain open. In that scenario, what unwinds is the geopolitical risk premium – which we estimate at roughly $7 to $9 per barrel. If that fades, Brent could drift back to the low-to-mid $60s, similar to past episodes where prices spiked on fear and then retraced once supply proves unaffected.Second, we could see short-lived frictions – shipping delays, higher insurance costs, temporary logistical issues. That might remove a few hundred thousand barrels per day for, say, a few weeks.. Prices could briefly spike into the $75–80 range. But balancing forces would kick in relatively quickly. For example, China has been building inventories at a steady pace. At higher prices, that stockbuilding would likely slow, helping offset temporary disruptions. That points to some further upside in prices – but then normalization.The third scenario is more serious, but still contained: localized export losses of perhaps 1 to 1.5 million barrels per day for a month or two. Prices would stay elevated longer, but spare capacity and demand adjustments could eventually stabilize the market.Now our last scenario is the more serious and considers a potential shipping shock. The real risk here isn't wells shutting down – it's shipping disruption. Global trade of crude oil depends on efficient tanker movement. If transit times were extended even modestly, effective shipping capacity could fall sharply, creating what amounts to a temporary tightening of about 2 to 3 million barrels per day – or about 6 percent of global seaborne supply. That is a logistics shock, not a production outage – but it would push prices toward early-2022-type levels, at least briefly.Now let's zoom out. Beyond geopolitics, the fundamentals look weak. OPEC+ supply is rising, and our forecasts show a sizable surplus building in 2026. Even if some of that oil ends up in China's stockpiles, a lot would still likely flow into core OECD inventories. Historically, when the market looks like this, prices tend to fall, not rise.Which brings us back to the central point. Oil isn't rallying because the world has run out of barrels. It's rallying because markets are pricing geopolitical risk. And unless that risk turns into actual, sustained disruption, insurance premiums tend to expire.Thank you for listening.

Is Iran weaker today due to sanctions?In this episode of Energy Vista, Leslie Palti-Guzman sits down with geoeconomic expert Rachel Ziemba to unpack the use of US economic statecraft against Iran in an era of shadow fleets and great-power fragmentation.We discuss:• How much of Iran's current economic and political weakness is actually driven by sanctions• China's decisive role in sustaining Iranian, Russian, and Venezuelan crude exports• The rise of a sanctions-evasion ecosystem linking Iran, Russia, and Venezuela• Whether the Houthis' disruption of Red Sea shipping indirectly enables sanctioned oil trade• Has the US overstretched its economic statecraft tools?At stake is more than Iran. This is about the durability of US financial power, the fragmentation of global energy markets, and whether sanctions remain leverage.Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.Watch the full conversation on YouTube.

You've heard me say it numerous times. Energy is the economy. If you don't believe me, just look at Cuba. The country is being starved for oil and the country is unable to function. At first it was just the United States imposing sanctions on countries that it sees as violating international law. That includes Russia, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, and certainly a few others. But those sanctions have been largely paper exercises involving money and financial instruments. It's only when a physical blockade of oil tankers severed energy trade routes that we started to see a real tangible impact. Other countries have joined in and impounded vessels that were carrying sanctioned oil. When it comes to global oil prices, the usual metrics of supply and demand seem to rule the day. The measure surplus or shortage is based on inventories consisting of tank storage and “oil on the water” which is oil in the hold of a ship. But what about the dark fleet that doesn't report its inventories? They are called “dark" because they turn off their AIS transponders which allows for position tracking. They participate in ship-to-ship (STS) transfers in international waters, and these ships frequently change country of registration to make tracking more difficult.That is how a “shipping problem” becomes an “oil price problem,” even when there is plenty of crude in the ground.An oil tanker crunch is coming. New ships are not being built fast enough and these older ships are going to be very difficult to bring back into good standing with the world's major insurers. We could see a global oil shortage because of a shortage of insurable ships. --------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

In this Global Brief edition of The Wright Report, Bryan reports that Cuba's communist regime is running on fumes as Mexico cuts off oil shipments under pressure from President Trump, pushing Havana into its deepest crisis in decades and accelerating what appears to be a serious U.S. push for regime change. Bryan then turns to Ukraine, where President Trump delivers a blunt peace ultimatum to both Zelenskyy and Putin, while U.S. pressure on Russian oil sales begins to show real impact. He also reveals how the U.S. military seized another ghost-fleet tanker carrying Venezuelan oil bound for China, tightening the squeeze on Beijing, Moscow, Tehran, and Caracas. The episode closes with a stark look at China's global behavior, from the persecution of Christians to the environmental and security threat posed by its massive illegal fishing fleet, followed by encouraging medical research showing that coffee consumption may significantly reduce dementia risk.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 10 2026 Wright Report, Cuba oil cutoff Mexico Sheinbaum Trump tariffs, Cuba regime change crisis Havana fuel shortage, Ukraine peace ultimatum Trump Zelenskyy Putin June deadline, Russia oil squeeze India cuts purchases, ghost fleet tanker seizure Diego Garcia Venezuelan oil, China persecution of Christians Xi Jinping crackdown, illegal Chinese fishing fleet South Africa penguins, Taiwan blockade fishing vessels, coffee dementia risk study Massachusetts gut microbiome
