| LNG | low LNG carrier traffic through Hormuz tightens regional gas delivery expectations | Up1-5d | Reuters said none of the ships were liquefied natural gas tankers |
| BDI | restricted shipping and stranded crews can lift freight costs across the route | Up1-5d | the Strait of Hormuz remained bottled up with thousands of seafarers stranded on hundreds of vessels |
