How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| FBX | A vessel casualty and elevated security risk can increase container freight rates through rerouting and capacity removal. | Up1-5d | The GFS Pride, a Singapore-flagged container ship with capacity for about 2,824 TEU, sank after damage and fire near Hormuz. |
| BZ=F | A confirmed commercial-shipping casualty raises the probability of further disruption to oil movements through Hormuz. | Up1-5d | The vessel sank while transiting the strategic waterway through which a large share of global oil trade historically passed. |
| ZIM | Higher war-risk costs, rerouting and potential Gulf service disruption raise operating costs and impair network reliability. | Down1-4w | A container vessel was lost after projectile damage while transiting Hormuz. |
