Financial Times: Căpitanii de petroliere, remunerați cu până la 100.000 de dolari pe lună pentru a traversa Strâmtoarea Ormuz

Oil tanker owners are offering captains salaries up to $100,000 per month and bonuses for navigating the Strait of Hormuz due to increased attacks on vessels. This compensation aims to retain crews amid rising risks, with ordinary sailors also receiving significantly higher pay. Despite the dangers, including recent attacks, shipping through this crucial route continues, as oil prices remain high. Insurance costs have surged, and fuel prices have increased substantially. The number of vessels willing to traverse the strait has decreased, with many opting for night crossings and avoiding GPS signals for safety.
