The functioning of the global economy depends on narrow passages and they will remain critical, and the associated geopolitical, climatic, and operational risks will persist. We are completing our analysis, but before finalizing, we seek practical insights from practitioners and policymakers.

Rethinking How We Govern Maritime Chokepoints Many everyday goods, from fuel to food and medical equipment, rely on shipments that pass through a few narrow maritime straits. These chokepoints concentrate global trade and are vulnerable to disruption.

As we prepare to welcome 2026, we are reminded that our world remains fragile and filled with uncertainty. Yet even in these moments, we are called to be instruments of justice—bringing care, hope, and healing to patients in underserved communities across Africa.

In the year ahead, may we step forward with courage and faith, serving others with compassion and dedication. At Mercy Ships Canada, every life touched and every patient strengthened is a powerful reminder that even the smallest acts of love can create lasting change.

Thank you for walking alongside us in this mission. Together, we can bring light where it is needed and hope where it feels scarce.

With gratitude and hope.
