    India India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) Thread

    There is pricing/time between these two (shipping and air). i.e trading off price and time. Air gets really expensive for the amount transported, the items have to be very premium on timely delivery generally. Thats why worldwide (where routing available for all) rail and road handle lot of...

    No, its not a dream for India or US (cutting out China out of world future). It will be a hedge, that is all. There is deep extensive economic relations between US-China-India in all directions even with political relations declining between China and the other two. There is no absolute to be...

    India India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) Thread

    In any case, I am waiting for more details to come out over next few months and then next year. Then I will pass more judgement. The issue with BRI was it was done at large scales (build it and they will come) quite recklessly, I don't see the same here as its region specific between two...

    Suez is at near full capacity, even with its ship size restriction. Its why the largest cargo ships (that offer the lowest shipping prices) already go around Africa instead. How a land corridor (rail and road) competes in the region for various tiers of goods that have more premium w.r.t...

    Do you understand what ship-ship routes are compared to for goods that are more time and corridor sensitive? Do you literally understand what the whole premise was for BRI compared to expanding more shipping and harbour capacity...given shipping pricepoint is by far the lowest? Why China...

    Sorry but no one is going to invest in Basra port and the tenuous route through Iraq with its deep scars, extreme factional politics, strife and instability and Iran overlooking and involving itself like it does all along it (KSA and UAE definitely will not).

    I call it as I see it, the tone is literally the most neutral one given the circumstances long discussed with Turkish members in various threads over time....who have taken tones far far harsher on the Erdogan admin than I ever would desire to.
