October sets record for Hormuz attacks as VLCC fleet sustains damage
More than 30 very large crude carriers have sustained damage in the region since February, with 11 hit in October alone—roughly 3.5% of the global VLCC fleet. The Washington Institute documented 28 confirmed and reported incidents during October in the Strait and adjacent waters, surpassing all previous months. A Greek risk advisor tracked similar attack frequencies.
