UK Maritime Monitor Rates Hormuz Threat Level as Severe

🚢 HORMUZ — UK monitor formalizes what the missiles already said. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: UKMTO's "severe" rating triggers automatic insurance repricing and voluntary fleet withdrawal protocols. With Hormuz traffic already at 11-15 ships daily, formal severity classification gives operators legal cover to void contracts and reroute — accelerating the collapse of what little commercial traffic remains. European LNG and crude imports take the direct hit.
