How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BDRY | Repeated attacks in and around Hormuz increase voyage risk and support higher dry-bulk and tanker freight exposure. | Up1-5d | UKMTO reported 12 vessel attacks, including 10 in Hormuz, with one vessel lost and two disabled or not under command. |
| ZIM | Repeated attacks raise insurance, rerouting and delay costs for container shipping operators exposed to Gulf routes. | Down1-4w | UKMTO reported attacks across Hormuz, the Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, including a lost vessel. |
| BZ=F | A high attack count increases the probability that crude transit capacity and scheduling will remain impaired. | Up1-5d | Ten of the 12 reported attacks occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, according to UKMTO’s latest overview. |
