Live war-risk alerts, Hormuz status, regulatory changes, port disruptions and shipping-market intelligence — updated around the clock.
Seven sanctioned Russian tankers have been spoofing AIS signals for 90 days to mask voyages from Novorossiysk while US-sanctioned LPG carriers were removed from Iran’s PGSA non-compliance list; the pattern shows enforcement announcements outpacing actual detentions and leaves charterers, agents and crews exposed to unpaid claims and port refusals.

Iran and Oman are pursuing fees for Hormuz transit in a proposed ceasefire framework, a move that would reshape international maritime law and add $50-200 per TEU to container costs and 5-15% to tanker economics.
A shareable visual explainer showing the step-by-step process by which vessels now transit the Strait of Hormuz — from documentation to VHF contact to IRGC escort to $2M payment in yuan or crypto. The first infographic spec in Eagle Maritime's intelligence product library.
Friday's Islamabad talks between the US and Iran will determine whether the $2M Hormuz toll becomes permanent treaty infrastructure, the ceasefire survives, or the war resumes. Here are three scenarios shipping operators must prepare for — and the insurance, routing, and crewing decisions each demands.
Iran's parliament passed the Strait of Hormuz Management Plan, transforming a wartime ad hoc toll into codified legislation. With Oman co-drafting an enforcement protocol, the $2M-per-vessel fee is becoming the legal architecture for a new maritime order that challenges 400 years of freedom of navigation.
The inaugural Crew Market Weekly. Iran's ceasefire and $2M toll gate create a new deployment calculus for manning agencies. 20,000 seafarers remain stranded, the flag-state coverage gap persists, and the IRGC escort regime raises questions no DMW advisory has answered yet.
Iran's ceasefire terms reveal a $2 million per-ship transit fee through Hormuz, shared with Oman and earmarked for reconstruction. This isn't a temporary war measure — it's the blueprint for a permanent toll road through the world's most critical chokepoint.
Trump postponed strikes on Iranian power plants for five days — the fifth deadline extension since the war began. But with 85% of Iran's petrochemical exports already offline, eight bridges destroyed, and railways severed, the distinction between 'deadline met' and 'deadline missed' has become meaningless for maritime operators.
Iran is not blocking the Strait of Hormuz. It is selectively reopening it — granting passage to allies, charging tolls in yuan and cryptocurrency, and transforming a military blockade into a new model of maritime coercion. We decode how the system works and who wins.
The maritime industry is fixated on trade routes and insurance premiums. But the crewing pipeline is fracturing under compound stress — 90,000 seafarer shortfall projected, 7,313 Filipinos stranded in the Gulf, and the flag-state gap means most of them aren't even covered by the Philippines-Iran safe passage deal.
As Trump's fourth deadline for Iran approaches, nearly 7,000 Filipino seafarers remain stranded across Gulf waters. Manning agencies face impossible deployment decisions while the crewing crisis deepens beyond what headlines capture.
