Voglio inveire (di nuovo) sugli articoli barebone di vrt. MSC ha creato una nuova rotta per ottenere il petrolio, evitando la strada bloccata di Hormuz.
‘Interessante’ potresti pensare, ‘come va il percorso?’
«Beh, via Jeddah, King Abdullah City e Damman, ovviamente. Che dici, non sai dove sono esattamente quelle città e ti farebbe piacere vederle su una mappa? Lol fatti un’idea, vai su Google tu stesso
Seriamente, quanto è difficile aggiungere grafici, diagrammi o mappe agli articoli. Pensa per due secondi a quali domande di follow-up potrebbero avere i tuoi lettori e fornisci tali informazioni

It’s not a route to get oil, it’s a container line. It’s for transporting containerized goods (like food) to (and from, but mostly to) the Gulf region.
The article mentions the ports Jeddah and King Abdullah City being on the west coast of the Red Sea. It also shows a map with the Red Sea clearly labeled. It also mentions Dammam being 1300 km away, on the Persian Gulf. The Persian Gulf is also labeled on the map.
I agree it would have been nice to put the exact locations of these ports on the map, but honestly that would have made the map much more cluttered and less clear.
MSC did post some detailed maps in [their own press release](https://www.msc.com/en/newsroom/news/2026/may/europe-red-sea-middle-east-express). Perhaps VRT NWS should have included that link in the article, but I think their article did a good enough job of explaining the situation to laypeople.
