Conflicto en Golfo impulsa carrera petrolera
The ongoing Iran conflict has significantly impacted maritime oil transport, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, which previously handled 20% of global hydrocarbon supplies. Due to increased risks and costs, oil and gas shipments now rely on tactics like disabling satellite systems or transshipping at sea, with freight prices soaring. Countries producing oil see owning their own tankers as a strategic priority amid high demand, elevated prices, and a concentrated market, leading to a surge in second-hand vessel prices and new orders, particularly by Chinese and Greek operators. The situation has increased reliance on supertankers, with high freight rates attracting investment interest in the maritime sector.
