TradeSense Episode 3 | What Gulf Port Behavior Reveals About Risk

When conflict escalates, shipping doesn’t always stop, and in the case of the Arabian Gulf, it didn’t even slow down.

In this episode of TradeSense, Lars Jensen, CEO of Vespucci Maritime, joins Windward’s Senior Maritime Intelligence Analyst, Michelle Bockmann, to examine what really happened at Gulf container ports during the Iran crisis.

They unpack vessel movements, port activity, and carrier response strategies to understand what constitutes true operational disruption.

The data shows resilience. The industry stayed steady. But beneath the surface, operational choices shifted, and those shifts carry critical lessons for global shipping.

If you’re responsible for supply chain continuity, risk monitoring, or regional strategy, this TradeSense episode is one you can’t afford to skip.
