Vietnam and the endurance test of global logistics

Vietnam and the endurance test of global logistics

Vietnam is not at the epicentre of major geopolitical conflict, but it is highly exposed to the economic aftershocks of almost every major logistics disruption. With one of the highest trade-to-GDP ratios in the region, turbulence in Hormuz, Suez, the Red Sea or other strategic corridors can quickly feed into Vietnam through fuel costs, ocean freight, transit time, delivery schedules, export orders and multinational expectations. When Vietnam is placed in the context of global supply chains shif

Hormuz: cú cảnh báo muộn của thương mại toàn cầu

Eo biển Hormuz thường chỉ xuất hiện dày đặc trên truyền thông khi Trung Đông nóng lên.

Hormuz: a late warning for global trade

The Strait of Hormuz usually dominates headlines only when the Middle East turns volatile. Yet from a logistics and trade-structure perspective, Hormuz is not a “new shock” at all. It is a repeated reminder of a deeper weakness in globalization: too much of the world’s energy and strategic cargo still moves through too few gateways. That is the core argument running through the uploaded document, and it becomes even more compelling

In global trade, sea routes and traditional bills of lading have long enjoyed a privileged position in the world of trade finance.

Hong Kong: From Mega Airport to the “Capital” of Green Maritime Finance

In the broader picture of global supply-chain restructuring, Hong Kong is actively redefining its position: not only as the traditional gateway for East–West trade, but also as a “dual ecosystem” where aviation and maritime activities are closely tied to green finance. Alongside Hong Kong Maritime Week 2025, the thematic sessions titled “Hong Kong: Global Maritime Capital” highlight the city’s new strategy of connecting the sky, the sea and capital flows for the next generation of logistics.
