Elevated Gulf transit pricing and tanker exposure.
Methodology
This tracker estimates the cost imposed on global shipping by Iran-linked maritime instability. It separates direct shipping costs from broader energy-market spillover so the headline number remains legible instead of arbitrary.
total_cost
= insurance_cost
+ delay_cost
+ reroute_cost
+ energy_pass_through_cost
insurance_cost_per_day
= affected_vessels_per_day × avg_insured_value × premium_increase
delay_cost_per_day
= delayed_vessels × daily_charter_cost × allocated_delay_days
reroute_cost_per_day
= rerouted_vessels × extra_days × daily_operating_cost
energy_pass_through_per_day
= risk_priced_barrels × added_price_per_barrel × pass_through_factor
- The live counter uses a saved base total plus elapsed time multiplied by the per-second rate.
- All numbers can be changed in one place inside the CONFIG block near the bottom of the page.
- For public release, pair each assumption revision with a dated methodology note.
