3 Indian sailors are dead after a US strike... disabled the tanker MT Settebello in the Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM says it was carrying Iranian crude and ignored orders. (21 crew were rescued). India has summoned the US chargé d'affaires. This incident will outlast the news cycle. It's the 2nd Indian-crewed, Palau-flagged tanker hit by US forces in a single week (MT Marivex was first; all crew survived). Blockade enforcement is no longer an abstraction between Washington and Tehran. It's now killing 3rd-country seafarers. The world's tanker fleet runs on flags of convenience and Indian, Filipino and Chinese crews. A blockade that treats every non-compliant hull as a target puts those crews at risk. For shipping, this adds a layer on top of Hormuz war-risk premia now extend into the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea, crews may refuse Gulf routings, and insurers reprice everything Iran-adjacent. The blockade's cost is no longer just barrels. It's manpower and coverage. video source: current reportshow more

Strait of Hormuz over the last 24 hours: Escalation... continues. The US and Iran continue to bomb each other, but no tankers have been attacked, at least not any that have been publicly reported. Mainstream media in the past 48 hours really started to pick up on the notion that the oil shuttling service through the Oman lane is slowing down. Based on satellite data, it is not completely dead yet, but how much are the shipowners willing to risk it? Well, they are having a hard time getting crew members to agree, and a few have already reported that the captains have refused transit. In the meantime, the Iran lane is getting all the traffic with AIS turned on. No visible tanker transits through the Oman lane, as expected. I have included the video from MarineTraffic.show more
