Episode112Episode 112: Strait Talk: The Impact of International Conflict on the World’s Oil Pipeline
When international crises occur, significant disruptions in the global supply chain can impact our daily lives in very real ways. Lately, for example, the conflict in the Middle East has been largely responsible for increasing gas prices at the pump because seaways like the Strait of Hormuz are the corridors through which much of the world’s oil travels. In this episode, we visit again with Vince Mantero, TTI’s director for the Institute’s Center for Ports and Waterways, about how crises (manmade or otherwise) can impact shipping routes, energy flows, and operations at U.S. ports. | Meet Vince Mantero, TTI’s Director for the Center for Ports and Waterways

About
Engaging conversations about transportation innovations
Our ability to get from Point A to Point B is something lots of us take for granted. But transporting people and products across town or across the country every day is neither simple nor easy.
Join us as we explore the challenges on Thinking Transportation, a podcast about how we get ourselves — and the things we need — from one place to another. Every other week, an expert from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute or other special guest will help us dig deep on a wide range of topics.
Transportation has a profound impact on our daily existence. So, the conversations you’ll hear on Thinking Transportation are about more than just how we move about. Often, by extension, they’re also about how we live.
