How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |

| BDTI | High war-risk insurance and exceptional crew compensation increase the operating cost and scarcity premium for tanker transport. | Up1-5d | Reporting cited war-risk insurance as high as $20 million for some tankers and crew wages several times normal levels. |
| STNG | Higher tanker rates support revenue, while elevated insurance, fuel and operational risks raise costs and could restrict utilization. | Mixed1-4w | Hormuz transit remained active but was accompanied by sharply higher war-risk and crew costs. |
