What happened
The cost to charter a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) supertanker has risen significantly, exceeding $1 million per day. This rate is five times higher than the cost before the Iran war began on February 28. The rate spike is attributed to a near-shutdown of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
