While the White House and Pentagon are boasting that the Hormuz traffic is “back to normal” (expect for 🇮🇷Iran’s oil) and “under control” of 🇺🇸US, shippers are offering sailors bonuses of up to $25,000 per trip to navigate oil tankers through the dangerous, war-rattled Strait, according to WSJ. Commercial vessels face continuous threats from drone attacks, missile strikes, GPS jamming, and warnings from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Ship-management companies offer double or triple pay plus bonuses up to $25,000 - equivalent to roughly 6 months of base salary for some crew members - to secure staffing. Gulf oil producers are paying between $30 million and $40 million per round trip for tanker shuttle runs, while supertanker charter rates have surged past $1.2 million a day. Iran’s “toll booth” is said to amount to $1-2 million extra expenses, depending on a vessel. Many seafarers still choose to leave their ships or refuse the assignments, judging the high financial reward as insufficient for the severe risk to their lives. Marine insurance rates and transit premiums for the Persian Gulf are, accordingly, skyrocketing. Who’s footing the bill?
