Episode Synopsis

Welcome to this solo episode of Interlinks. I'm your host, Patrick Daly, The Macro-to-Micro Strategist ™ and in this episode I am going to take you on a voyage to some of the most important maritime chokepoints around the world that are essential to how modern economies work and to the supply chains support them.We’re diving into a topic that doesn’t always make headlines but has massive consequences for global trade and business: escalating threats to the key maritime choke points.We’ll explore the four most critical global chokepoints—the Strait of Hormuz, Bab el-Mandab, the Panama Canal, and the Straits of Malacca and Singapore—and unpack why they matter so much to international supply chains.I’ll explain the specific risks each one presents, from geopolitical tensions to climate-related disruption, and more importantly, what practical steps businesses can take to prepare for these challenges.If you're involved in manufacturing, logistics, supply chain management, or global strategy, this episode will help you think more clearly about where the real bottlenecks are—and how to build resilience into your operations.So join me as we zoom out to the global map, and then zoom back in on what smart companies can do at the ground level to navigate these high-risk zones.Patrick Daly★ The Macro-to-Micro Strategist╽ Turning Global Turbulence into Operational Clarity ╽ Helping Business Leaders Build Resilient, Profitable Supply Chains ╽ Multilingual Trusted Advisor ╽ Call/WhatsApp ☎️ +353868116030 ╽ Hosted on Acast.
