Iran's war causes $77M maritime oil costs
The costs of transporting oil by sea have experienced an unusual surge, reaching approximately $77 million for chartering a supertanker to move American cargoes to Asia. This represents a significant increase compared to the average of $9.2 million in 2025. The rise is linked to ongoing maritime disruptions caused by the war with Iran, which has doubled the shipping time and elevated transportation costs. The shipping expenses alone added about $38.5 per barrel to the total cost of two million barrels. This has led to disturbances in the oil markets and forced some sellers to offer discounts to compensate for the higher delivery expenses.
