Three Oil and LNG Tankers Exit Hormuz With Transponders Off

🚢 HORMUZ — Ships going dark in a contested strait isn't caution; it's a signal. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Transponder blackouts in Hormuz mean insurers, navies, and cargo buyers lose visibility simultaneously. With IRGC already claiming strikes on a US base, dark tankers create ideal conditions for an incident no party can immediately attribute. Lloyd's war-risk premiums will spike on this alone. Watch whether US Navy activates tracking assets — silence from CENTCOM would be its own message.
