How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZF27 | A sustained fall in tanker traffic through Hormuz increases the probability of delayed or disrupted crude exports. | Up1-5d | UKMTO reported 11 attacks in one week and traffic about 75% below pre-conflict levels. |
| BDTI | Repeated attacks and sharply lower traffic increase vessel risk, rerouting demand and insurance costs. | Up1-4w | UKMTO recorded 10 attacks in the strait and seven damaged vessels that continued their voyages. |
| OILK | The shipping disruption exposes Gulf producers and exporters to operational risk, but the report does not establish a specific production outage for Oman. | Watch1-4w | The report measured attacks and reduced traffic rather than an identified Omani production shutdown. |
