Iran beansprucht alleinige Kontrolle über Straße von Hormus (DPA-AFX)
|
|
|
Der Iran beansprucht die Kontrolle des Schiffsverkehrs durch die für den Welthandel wichtigen Straße von Hormus aufs Neue allein für sich. "Die Straße von Hormus wird innerhalb der kommenden 30 Tage wieder vollständig unter die Verwaltung des Iran gestellt", sagte Außenminister Abbas Araghtschi bei einer Pressekonferenz in der irakischen Hauptstadt Bagdad. Die Verantwortung für die Meerenge liege allein beim Iran, bekräftige Araghtschi. "Jegliche Einmischung oder der Versuch, parallele Strukturen zu schaffen, würde die Lage weiter verkomplizieren, zusätzliche Spannungen erzeugen und die Wiedereröffnung dieser strategisch zentralen Wasserstraße verzögern.", sagte Araghtschi..

Spirit airlines is dead and a bus travel boom looks likely – but will Greyhounds ever be cool again? (The Guardian)
|

For most Americans, riding a bus means abandoning expectations of basic dignity – but with an increase in ridership, that could change“It's a grueling experience,” Greyhound bus enthusiast Miles Taylor explains. “You're not treated very well. Everyone is yelling at you the entire time. When the bus is late, they blame you for it, like somehow you've done something wrong. You just get screamed at for wanting to know what's going on, because no one says anything.”Taylor is obsessed with public transit. “I never really grew out of my little boy train phase,” the 26-year-old said. He works as a scheduler for Boston's MBTA and runs a popular YouTube account documenting the bus trips he takes for fun in his spare time. Taylor traveled across the country by Greyhound twice; a Boston to Seattle route took 104 hours. But even he admits that America's bus system is far from luxurious – or even comfortable.

China′s big trucks go electric and abroad as subsidies help pave road to net-zero freight (SCMP)
|
|
|
Domestic makers of heavy-duty trucks are emerging as the latest beneficiaries of accelerating electrification on China's roads, as technological gains and lower ownership costs are bolstering overseas sales amid a global energy crisis.

Tanker Rates Nearly Halve As Hormuz Shipping Normalizes
The recent spike in the cost to hire a supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude from Saudi Arabia to China is now being sharply reversed, as more shippers send vessels through the Strait of Hormuz and normalization trends continue to improve.
Bloomberg reports that tanker rates for the Saudi Arabia-to-China route tumbled to about $287K on Friday, down 44% from more than $514K on Tuesday. That data came from the Baltic Exchange.
Rates remain elevated and still highly profitable for owners, but the sharp drop late in the week suggests the market is beginning to normalize after an interim U.S.-Iran peace deal reduced the war risk premium around the Hormuz chokepoint. Early movers certainly capitalized on lofty rates last week.
According to Bloomberg data, 48 vessels have transited the narrow waterway on Friday, though that does not include ships that switched off their transponders.
By the end of the week, Brent crude fell below $72 ...
