Continued attacks on freighters in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding regions cast a shadow over the recovery of Middle Eastern crude oil exports, which also forced shipowners to retain crew members with higher risk compensation. According to the Financial Times, current tanker captains who undertake missions in the Strait of Hormuz can be paid up to 100,000 US dollars per month, and can also receive an additional 50,000 US dollars in bonuses each time. The average crew is also paid 4 to 6 times the normal level. As a comparison, under normal circumstances, the captain's monthly salary is about 15,000 US dollars, and the monthly salary of an ordinary crew member is only about 1,500 US dollars. Currently, tanker owners are required to pay a premium of 6% to 10% of the hull value for a single entry into the Strait of Hormuz, and the maximum premium for a single voyage of an oversized tanker may reach 20 million US dollars.
