Strait of Hormuz: the shipping detour nobody has on their emissions spreadsheet

Recent geopolitical tensions have led to changes in shipping routes, with vessels diverting from the Strait of Hormuz to the Cape of Good Hope, resulting in increased CO2 emissions. This adds approximately 3,500 nautical miles to the journey, and these extra miles are not accurately reflected in emissions accounting. This shift highlights the need for new analysis regarding energy security and carbon emissions.
