“...choking off passage through one of the world’s busiest arteries for oil transit.”

Some oil industry guy this morning said the canal was not that heavily used by oil tankers and this wouldn’t be a big problem for worldwide supply.

It’s bound to give terrorists ideas though. It’s too easy.

The article says: 'The Suez Canal, which connects the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea, transits over 18,000 ships a year, with a large chuck of those vessels oil tankers heading to Europe from the Persian Gulf region'.

Most of those ships coming out of the Persian Gulf are transporting oil. Germany, I mean the European Union are going to suffer the most from this situation.
