Geopolitical instability in the Middle East has caused maritime chokepoints at the Strait of Hormuz, forcing vessels to reroute and reducing global fleet capacity. This has driven tanker charter rates to historic highs, with daily spot rates reaching nearly $470,000 compared to previous $75,000-$100,000 levels.
