Peste 100.000 de dolari pe lună pentru căpitani: armatorii majorează salariile marinarilor pentru a-i încuraja să traverseze strâmtoarea Ormuz

Shipping companies are significantly increasing salaries for sailors and captains navigating the Strait of Hormuz due to heightened attacks from Iran. Mariners now earn four to six times their usual pay, while captains can make over $100,000 monthly. However, many face pressure to stay on ships, risking their safety amid ongoing violence, with 24 sailors killed and 93 vessels attacked since the war began. Shipping rates have surged, with VLCC rates exceeding $1.2 million per day, driven by strong demand and rising insurance costs. This trend affects all shipping categories, leading to fierce competition for available transport capacity.
