The modules were built in Abu Dhabi, but shipment was delayed by the war in Iran and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz; this delivery puts the project back on track with one last module still to arrive.

What contingency steps should megaprojects like Project ONE adopt to better hedge against geopolitical shipping disruptions in critical chokepoints?
