The land bridge is the strait's answer
When the strait closes, the lanes bend around it, the intermodal corridor is the response the market already had.
Land bridge intermodal routes around Hormuz are the map of the industry's inventiveness: when the strait closes, the lanes bend around it. The alternative is not a detour; it is the corridor that the closure builds.
The land bridge is the new corridor
The rail-truck-road path around the strait prices the disruption into a route: the cargo moves, the insurance adjusts, the lanes settle. For the operator, the closure is the plan of the alternative made real.
The closed strait is the open land bridge.
The fleets that have the intermodal map ready — not the one they draw in the crisis — are the ones that keep the freight moving.
Key takeaways
