How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| FRO | Attacks on tankers increase demand for available vessels and raise war-risk and voyage premiums. | Up1-4w | A crude tanker and an LPG carrier were struck in separate Hormuz incidents, while traffic fell to two commodity vessels on Monday from 10 the previous day. |
| BZ=F | Direct attacks on commercial shipping increase the probability of delayed Gulf exports and raise the supply-disruption premium. | Upintraday | The incidents occurred alongside a sharp decline in commodity-vessel crossings through Hormuz. |
| LPG1! | A strike on an LPG carrier increases expected freight, insurance and replacement-cargo costs for regional LPG movements. | Up1-4w | The Liberia-flagged LPG carrier Al Maryah was struck while leaving the strait and continued without towing. |
