Sponsorship
One sponsor at a time.
Straits takes no ad networks and no ad tracking. It offers one labelled sponsor line to firms that serve the shipping, energy and markets readers who check it.
Who reads it.
- ~26,000
- readers a month
- ~45,000
- pageviews a month
- ~10,000
- visitors a month from search
- 57%
- of readers in the US
Most readers are American, and the top English-language markets are US, UK, Canada, Australia. We round down on purpose, so the real figures should come in at or above these.
Figures for the 30 days to 2 Oct 2026, from Umami, with spam referrers removed.
What a sponsor gets.
A line that reads “Sponsored by …” on the homepage and in the site footer, and a line in the Monday email digest. Each one is a plain link.
There are no pixels and no retargeting. Straits counts visits with cookieless Umami analytics and nothing else, and a sponsor doesn’t change that.
The rules.
- You’re the only sponsor on the site while your month runs.
- Month to month, no lock-in.
- Sponsors don’t see or shape the reporting. That’s why readers trust it.
- Straits may decline any sponsor.
- The sponsor is named on /about.
Price.
$800 a month, founding rate.
