📋 Key Takeaway

The rental rates for supertankers have surged dramatically from 208 thousand dollars to over one million dollars per day following recent geopolitical tensions involving the U.S. and Israel's actions against Iran. This significant increase highlights the impact of international conflicts on shipping costs and trade routes.

According to data from the Baltic Exchange, the cost of renting a supertanker on the route from the Persian Gulf to China reached 1.035 million dollars per day, while prior to the start of the American-Zionist aggression against Iran on February 28, it was around 208 thousand dollars per day.
