This issue of Foresights explores how today’s evolving security environment is reshaping maritime operations with geopolitical fragmentation, sanctions complexity and emerging threats becoming a persistent backdrop to global trade. Currently, risk is no longer confined to isolated high-risk zones but is continuous, interconnected and increasingly difficult to interpret in real time.
In this edition, we examine:
- The operational impact of recent developments, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz
- The growing “intelligence gap” facing fleet operators
- How a centralised approach to security intelligence enables more effective decision-making
- The role of Anglo-Eastern’s Global Security Desk in supporting vessels, crews and owners through complex situations.
Drawing on real-world experience, the paper highlights why structured intelligence, coordinated response and human capability are now core to safe and resilient operations.
