🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Record $1.33 million a day to send a tanker through Hormuz
The cost of chartering an oil tanker for a passage through the Strait of Hormuz has hit the highest level in history, $1.33 million per day, the Financial Times reports.
Shipowners are now paying crews like soldiers of fortune to make the run past Iran:
➡️Tanker captains are being offered $100,000 a month, plus bonuses of up to $50,000 for each passage
➡️Ordinary sailors are being offered four to six times their usual pay
➡️Normally, captains working the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman earn about $15,000 a month, and crew members from $1,500
One industry representative said seafarers are now "almost viewed as combat mercenaries" because of the risks involved.
