How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | Reduced throughput through Hormuz limits effective export capacity and supports a crude scarcity premium. | Up1-5d | Reported transits averaged 33.7 per day versus approximately 138 before the war. |
| BDRY | Disrupted routing and immobilized tankers increase dry-bulk and maritime transport scarcity premiums. | Up1-4w | The update reported 54 laden tankers immobilized along Iran's coastline and materially depressed transit volumes. |
| ZIM | Persistent Gulf disruption increases voyage delays, rerouting costs, and insurance expense for exposed maritime logistics. | Down1-4w | Commercial transits remained far below the pre-war level and route risk stayed elevated. |
