DID YOU KNOW The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), adopted in 1982 and in force since 1994, is the comprehensive international legal framework governing all ocean space, maritime resources, and maritime zones. It defines rights for coastal states and maritime navigation, including the 12-mile territorial sea and 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/1777319144198-ZD308W0RINXPEQQB4TKP/unsplash-image-wS4Y6XIWAl8.jpg News - Let’s talk about chokepoints. - Guess what… Around 95% of all international internet traffic, including the financial transactions underpinning our global trade, runs through the physical cables on the ocean floor. . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/1777387553912-S166UW0N66EZ9HAH48A4/unsplash-image-WA1u0scVLZU.jpg News - Let’s talk about chokepoints. - Fun fact The Bosphorus runs directly through the middle of Istanbul, one of the world's oldest cities. Ships carrying oil, grain, and heavy cargo navigate a strait that is, in places, flanked by apartment buildings, restaurants, and mosques. The city of 15 million people essentially has a superhighway of supertankers running through its living room, 365 days a year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/1777387951388-TR6MJB11H8SQ4I24Q1DT/unsplash-image-SAW_Vj3wUP8.jpg News - Let’s talk about chokepoints. The Dover Strait is so busy that it has its own dedicated traffic separation scheme — essentially a maritime highway with lanes going each direction — enforced by radar monitoring and coast guard vessels. Ships are not allowed to simply wander across it. Despite this, the strait still sees several collision incidents per year, because funneling 400+ ships daily through a 21-mile-wide gap is, it turns out, inherently precarious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/479e336d-0dd0-46ad-afe5-65ba1cdff593/unsplash-image-aTlSSe1eyXw.jpg News - Let’s talk about chokepoints. - Fun fact Dubai's emergence as a global aviation hub was entirely deliberate and almost improbably successful. In the 1980s, Emirates airline was founded with a $10 million government grant and two leased aircraft. Today it operates one of the largest long-haul fleets in the world and has effectively turned a desert city-state with no geographic air traffic advantage into the most connected aviation hub on the planet, largely through the force of strategic investment and the absence of the regulatory and union complications that hampered competitors elsewhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/1777388816829-3QRTIWVCSL63M87S2AAQ/GettyImages-902006618.jpg News - Let’s talk about chokepoints. - Brrrrrr… Russia has the world's only fleet of nuclear-powered icebreakers — currently 4 in service with more under construction — which it uses to keep the Northern Sea Route open and to escort commercial vessels through ice. No other country has nuclear icebreakers. This means that as climate change makes the Arctic route increasingly attractive, the world may find itself trading dependence on the Suez Canal for dependence on Russian icebreaker escorts. Climate change solving one geopolitical dependency problem by creating another is arguably on-brand. https://www.econity.co/home daily 1.0 2026-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/26798fbc-c766-46fe-a1d3-1c725055ef3b/Group+54.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/88fe0e6b-5ece-4225-8c69-6a9186e75d5f/Group+61.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/65937eaf-986b-453b-8b7c-374d62caf0ad/Group+64.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224238156-OY2QGA6E03LY3JALP4NL/Rectangle+16.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224431317-5MY8W6DHU2C1N8K4V902/Rectangle+18.jpg Home https://www.econity.co/about daily 0.75 2025-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224238156-OY2QGA6E03LY3JALP4NL/Rectangle+16.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224431317-5MY8W6DHU2C1N8K4V902/Rectangle+18.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/d4788c0f-a816-49ad-aca4-e2ab6d7d8f5b/Group+54.png https://www.econity.co/contact daily 0.75 2026-03-26 https://www.econity.co/services daily 0.75 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/1b35d627-3b1b-44f0-84e1-33e762486d24/Screenshot+2026-03-07+at+9.03.43%E2%80%AFAM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/9466c746-73b3-4104-9e66-75d618d8e0c9/Screenshot+2026-03-07+at+9.04.46%E2%80%AFAM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b88f1efb7ca018b28895a5/8863df3b-3c41-4321-a700-915f357c6235/Screenshot+2026-03-07+at+9.05.58%E2%80%AFAM.png https://www.econity.co/schedule-your-call daily 0.75 2026-03-05 https://www.econity.co/pricing daily 0.75 2026-03-10
