Which countries' ships are hit by Hormuz crisis?
Bloomberg data shows 670 commodity vessels signaled from west of the strait in the last day, with UAE companies accounting for 120.
- Around 670 commodity vessels remain stuck near the Strait of Hormuz, with shipping companies from the United Arab Emirates, Greece, and China most affected by the ongoing regional disruption.
- The regional conflict erupted on February 28, 2026, when the United States and Israel launched attacks against Iran, prompting retaliatory strikes from Tehran's forces that targeted the waterway.
- Analysis shows the United Arab Emirates accounts for around 18 percent of the stalled fleet with 120 vessels, while Greek companies have at least 75 ships in the area and Chinese firms have 74 vessels.
- Hundreds of vessels are waiting out the war due to sky-high insurance costs and danger to life and cargo, including around 50 Very Large Crude Carriers and 11 Very Large Gas Carriers trapped in the region.
- Some vessels crossed via an Iranian vetting system granting safe passage to friendly nations, while a further 60 ships are not directly owned by Iran but remain sanctioned by the United States under its Iran program.
