Oil shipments face new attacks across Red Sea, Hormuz and Black Sea
More than 60 commercial ships have been attacked since March 1 across the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman, highlighting risks to key oil routes.
Attacks on commercial vessels in multiple strategic waterways are increasing disruption risk for oil shipments as fighting escalates across the Red Sea, Strait of Hormuz, and the Black Sea, CNBC Markets reports.
The outlet says more than 60 commercial ships have been attacked since March 1 in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman, underscoring broader pressure on shipping lanes tied to energy supplies.
CNBC World points to the same wave of incidents across those regions, indicating the attacks are spreading across several corridors rather than being confined to a single chokepoint.
