Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz — the conduit for roughly one-fifth of global oil and LNG before the war — remains far below prewar levels as attacks resume. Brent crude above $91 signals higher fuel and freight costs, while war-risk exposure mounts for tanker operators and importers.
As Trump claims the US controls the strait and Iran continues shipping attacks, supply chain managers face soaring insurance costs, tanker reroutings, and the specter of a prolonged disruption to one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
After five months of conflict that choked the Strait of Hormuz, Iran and Oman are finalizing a deal that would give Tehran control over vessel entry. For supply chain operators, this means a new layer of geopolitical risk and potential rerouting of 21 million barrels per day of oil transit.
After a three-week pause triggered by a tanker attack, Qatar sent its first LNG shipment through the Strait of Hormuz on July 30, with over a dozen tankers idle near Ras Laffan. The fragile resumption eases immediate supply chain pressure but elevated security risks keep logistics planners on high alert.
The world’s largest tanker owner is shelling out six-figure bonuses to crew willing to transit the Strait of Hormuz, a stark sign of how conflict-driven logistics risks are inflating supply chain costs. Two seafarers died last week, and 59 ships have been attacked since February, forcing shippers to balance multimillion-dollar freight premiums against crew safety. This development signals deepening disruptions for energy procurement and freight capacity worldwide.
The UAE’s dark tanker operation, with Sinokor vessels carrying nearly half of all Emirati crude shipments by June, showcases a logistics model that could reshape how energy supply chains navigate chokepoint disruptions.
Gasoline prices remain nearly $1 per gallon higher than before the Iran conflict, and war-driven inflation in food and transportation is still on the way. Supply chain managers must plan for persistent cost pressure even as energy markets calm.
When war threatened the Strait of Hormuz, the UAE turned to a single Korean shipping group to keep its oil flowing. By mid‑2026, Sinokor’s dark‑fleet shuttle runs were carrying nearly half of all Emirati crude exports, rewriting the rules of crisis logistics.

The US-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz offers hope for unblocking a critical energy chokepoint after months of disruption. However, with 600 laden tankers waiting and shipowners demanding safety assurances, supply chain professionals face continued uncertainty around fuel availability, shipping costs, and delivery schedules.
Institutional investors are recalibrating global portfolios as conflict in Iran threatens critical energy corridors and maritime shipping lanes.
