Per the Baltic Exchange weekly report dated April 17, 2026, the TD3C Middle East Gulf to China VLCC rate is almost $474,000 per day, four times the pre-war level of $117,360 recorded mid-February. Per Caixin Global, daily charter rates reached nearly $800,000 within the first week of the war that began February 28, with one VLCC fixture at $770,000 per day. Per S&P Global, all 12 International Group P&I Clubs, covering 90 percent of world ocean tonnage, gave 72-hour cancellation notices for war cover (effective March 5 per the Irregular Warfare Initiative). Per Caixin, war risk premiums jumped from 0.25 percent to 1 percent of hull value. Per Gosships analysis, the insurance market closed the strait before any IRGC attack. The April 22 IRGC seizures compounded an already-closed market.
