Geopolitical Context
The Strait of Hormuz handles over 20% of global petroleum petroleum transit (~21 million barrels/day). Iranian compensation demands and diplomatic stalemates against U.S. naval blockade enforcement disrupt critical tanker corridors, forcing maritime traffic into extended Cape of Good Hope transit circuits.
