$10 Billion of Trade at Risk. Every Single Day.
Hormuz closed since February. Bab al-Mandab now suspended too.
Together they carry 30% of the world's seaborne trade. 10β12% of all global seaborne trade and a third of European imports transit Bab al-Mandab alone. Every container ship. Every tanker. All rerouting around Africa.
No full resolution expected before end of 2026. Iran is still charging over $1 million per vessel in transit tolls. War-risk insurance premiums up over 1,000% since the conflict began. Templeton Press
Two straits. No shortcut left. And the Cape of Good Hope is the only route on the map.
For container owners β every rerouted vessel adds $1.2β1.8 million in additional fuel costs per round trip β and every extra day at sea is another day getting paid.
The disruption isn't ending. It's expanding. π¦π’π
