Shipping industry trusted as honest voice in Hormuz crisis
Original: the seafaring folks have been the most honest, reliable and consistent source in this entire crisis, if anyone i trust t
Commenters are praising the shipping industry, pointing to Lloyd's List reporting that shipping has already made its peace with the risk of operating through the Strait of Hormuz amid the Iran-driven energy crisis. The argument is that maritime trade figures have been the most honest, reliable and consistent source of information throughout the crisis, and their word carries more weight than official statements.
Why now: Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are raising oil and shipping risk, and observers say maritime industry reporting is more credible than other sources.
