How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT CRUDE | Persistently reduced tanker traffic through Hormuz increases the probability of constrained Gulf exports. | Up1-5d | UKMTO reported 12 attacks and said combined transits remained about 70% below the pre-war level. |
| BDTI | Repeated attacks increase voyage risk, rerouting pressure and war-risk pricing for crude tankers. | Up1-4w | UKMTO recorded attacks across Hormuz, the Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, including one lost vessel and two disabled vessels. |
| ZIM | Lower container-vessel traffic and elevated attack risk can impair Gulf-linked shipping volumes and raise operating costs. | Down1-4w | UKMTO reported multiple maritime attacks and sharply reduced Hormuz transits. |
