The Straits of Malacca and Singapore sees more than 100,000 vessels in transit every year. Bordered by Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, this narrow waterway -- just barely 3.5 km wide at its narrowest point -- forms one of the world's busiest and most strategically important shipping corridors. What has made these waters particularly navigable, valuable, and governable for centuries? This book situates the historical, commercial, and strategic significance of the Strait within the broader context of regional geopolitics and international maritime trade. The evolving relationships between the International Maritime Organization and the four coastal states are of particular interest, highlighting the challenges of governing international navigation, ensuring maritime safety, and fostering cooperation in this critical waterway. Set against the backdrop of evolving maritime challenges, this book offers a timely perspective on the enduring significance of one of the world's most strategically vital waterways.
