Two days · as of 2026-10-29

Rome ready.

A forwarder's pack for two days of partner meetings: how cargo reaches the Gulf while Hormuz is shut, what each Gulf country ships, each partner country's lane and route, and how twenty minutes at a table run.

The two days In this order

1. Day 1

   The Gulf now, then the six Gulf cards, then the 20 minutes. Say the six questions out loud until they come without the page.

2. Day 2

   The countries, one block at a time: the lane, the port pair, the route now, the question to ask. Then the basics. Then play the audiobook end to end as the revision.

Trade figures are 2023 and 2024, the last normal years: the size of a lane, not how cargo moves this week. Every 'normal year' range is a worded estimate from sea distance, not a timetable. Say the range, and add "before the strait closed".
