The internet gets more amusing every day which is a good thing because when I look out over it some mornings it is filled with one awful story after another. Therefore, I have decided to join friends and go see Hail Mary. I think I only conned a ship through the strait twice and it never really felt all that bendy. On the other hand, ships move extremely slowly compared to most cars and you can start a long turn that lasts for miles with a single helm order.
I have been silent about this for a long time, but I can no longer keep quiet about it in good conscience.

The "Strait" of Hormuz isn't straight at all. It's super crooked. You can see in the helpful graphic I put together below.

Smile, this keen eyed observer might not want to see how crooked the canals connecting our lakes are.
Hopefully spring will really get here, and I can take the cover off my little sharpie for the first sail of the season.
If you enjoy the movie, you will need to read the book!!!
why couldn't whichever nation it is on the west coast of that sore thumb sticking into Iran's bottom get together with whatever nation is on the east coast (unless it's all the same nation) and lay a pipeline(s) (and/or rail line) from say Al Raafah to Dibba Al-Fujairah, a distance of under 50 miles and transit the stuff across thereby avoiding the strait.
Yeah! it's a bit more expensive - but not in the long run.
Just another data point demonstrating the level of abject failure that is the "educational" (indoctrination) system.
Blowing up pipelines is just as easy as how Iran crazies attack shipping. For that matter there are places where a sea level canal could be built [ less than ONE mile long thru Omani Territory ] to let the ships save lots of miles to avoid the crooked .... straight.
Its only Iranian piracy that is the issue. Hanging the Pirates is the best solution historically.
I've promised myself to hit the driving range this year and I think I will also take the boat out for a few sails this year too.
Next up!
The UAE could do it from Sharjah or Dubai to Fujairah but elected not to because they didn't export enough to make it worthwhile and don't begin to have the infrastructure to move the oil, never mind the gas, from ABOT, Kuwait and Ras Tanura and what some people don't know is that despite all the brotherly talk, they are not really friends at all.
Fujairah is also fairly small by comparison with the ports in the Gulf and if Saudi Arabia could not afford to replicate the distribution of their stuff at Yanbu I doubt that they'd be willing to double or triple the expenses to move it the North Arabian Sea. It literally places their oil in the hands of somebody they don't trust.
And as the others have noted, there is nothing easier than blowing up pipelines.

Hanging the Pirates is the best solution historically.
Should that include EU grabbing tankers also?
Hail Mary was an enjoyable film. I liked it.
