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.
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.
