Strategic Maritime Crossings and European Energy Security: Geopolitical Upheavals and Mitigation Strategies

Summary by IRIS
France and the European Union (EU) are largely dependent on imports of hydrocarbons for their energy consumption, while in 2023 three-quarters of world oil demand depended on maritime traffic, while in 2020 liquefied natural gas (LNG) flows exceeded exports by pipeline, giving transport a central role in the global energy supply, making it vulnerable to disruptions in certain strategic passages, such as straits and canals.
