Hi Craig, wonderfully written piece and very solid, novel recommendations. Thanks for including detailed information on the near disaster in the Danish Straits in the Appendix. I wrote my master's thesis at Copenhagen University (July 2023) on exactly this problem for Denmark and used the Canis Power incident as a case in point. I'm curious to hear if you view it as a one-off or think it could possibly happen again. Is there a role for Danish maritime pilots to verify price attestations or liability insurance before servicing Russian tankers passing through the Danish Straits? Do you have any recommendations for the navigational industry or specific instructions for national agencies that manage these dangerous chokepoints? Thanks.

Superb work, as usual Craig!
