BAO NHIÊU TÀU MẮC KẸT Ở EO BIỂN HORMUZ? CÓ TÀU VIỆT NAM NÀO KHÔNG?

When the Strait of Hormuz is blocked the waters inside will become a closed sea meaning many ships will be trapped there How many ships are currently stranded in the Strait of Hormuz and are any of them Vietnamese As of the time this video was published according to data from leading marine insurance organizations and maritime tracking companies Approximately 1 000 vessels are currently stranded in the Persian Gulf region and the surrounding waters of the Strait of Hormuz These are not small vessels most of them are massive cargo ships many exceeding 300 meters in length It's nearly as tall as a ten-story building and can carry millions of barrels of oil In addition to oil there are also ships transporting general cargo The total value of these stranded vessels and cargo is estimated to reach around 25 billion U S dollars Twenty-five billion U S dollars is a huge amount because a single large oil tanker can cost between 80 million and 120 million dollars The amount of oil still on the ship could be another 100 to 200 million dollars Thus just a few hundred ships would bring the total value to tens of billions of U S dollars When around 1 000 ships became stuck simultaneously The combined value of goods and ships reaching 25 billion U S dollars is entirely plausible not an exaggeration at all Among them are numerous oil tankers liquefied natural gas carriers container ships and chemical product tankers These vessels were originally designed to operate continuously between the Middle East and major consumer markets such as China Japan South Korea and Europe Traffic in this area is typically extremely busy Every day dozens of oil tankers enter and exit Hormuz Ships depart from Saudi Arabia or Kuwait sail through the strait and head straight toward Asia Once unloaded they turn around to pick up another cargo That middle section kept repeating endlessly like a vast unbroken chain But when tensions escalated and the threat of attacks on ships emerged The entire supply chain was disrupted Many ships loaded with oil dared not depart Some ships en route have stopped midway at sea and many others will have to anchor offshore See how stable the security situation will become More than 1 000 ships Out of these 1 000 ships how many are carrying oil Just considering oil tankers alone the number is enough to make anyone gasp in shock Marine vessel tracking data shows More than 700 oil tankers are currently in the area around the Strait of Hormuz Among them are hundreds carrying crude oil along with numerous ships carrying crude oil and refined fuel These vessels are ultra-large ships over 300 meters long as mentioned and carrying around two million barrels of oil per voyage To put it in perspective the amount of oil on such a vessel enough to fuel a small nation for many days When hundreds of such vessels have to stop simultaneously The impact on the global market is enormous Here in Vietnam the effect is felt very clearly Oil storage facilities in the Gulf region began filling up more quickly Some countries even had to cut back on their oil production Since the oil tanker can't arrive to take the cargo once extracted there's nowhere to put it It's like when a highway gets shut down Trucks continued to stream out from the factories but couldn't leave the area gradually the parking lot became completely full Goods are stuck in customs Before the situation escalated hundreds of oil tankers passed through this strait each day Recent monitoring however indicates tha Traffic through this route has dropped sharply more than ever before Some statistics show the number of oil-carrying vessels passing through this strait It had dropped by as much as 90% compared to normal For several days in a row only a handful of ships dared to pass through the strait There were times when the entire route was nearly empty of oil tankers This wasn't because the strait was officially closed It's like blocking something at the strait Theoretically it's still open open in a physical sense In reality the risk of attack makes transportation companies too afraid to take chances A crude oil tanker can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars not to mention the commercial value of the oil it carries No shipping company wants to risk its entire fleet in a region prone to conflict As a result many ships opt to remain anchored offshore rather than proceed further Another crucial factor is insurance Commercial vessels typically need to purchase various types of insurance including war risk insurance This type of insurance is designed to cover losses if a vessel is attacked in conflict zones But when conditions become too dangerous Insurance companies may refuse to provide services And that is exactly what happened in the case of the Strait of Hormuz Several major international marine insurance companies have announced they will cease providing war risk insurance for vessels operating in the Middle East region This has left many cargo ships in a difficult situation If they proceed without insurance any losses will be borne solely by the ship owners In an industry where each vessel is so expensive no one dares to take the risk so many companies have decided to try once more Do not cross this strait until the situation stabilizes further A question of great concern to many Vietnamese people whether any Vietnamese vessels are currently stranded in the Hormuz Strait region According to available information Vietnam's vessel is currently stranded in the Strait of Hormuz but this situation is specific to the Strait of Hormuz region And what if we include the Middle East region That is a much larger area encompassing other Middle Eastern countries And once again as of the time this video was published there are currently 17 oil tankers associated with Vietnam Operating in the Middle East region along with 213 Vietnamese crew members working aboard these vessels What is noteworthy is that authorities reported that all vessels and crew members are safe No dangerous incidents have been reported due to tension in the area To ensure safety the Vietnamese maritime authority We have been closely monitoring the situation Communication channels with the vessel and its crew have been continuously maintained along with the system Maritime rescue teams are also on standby to provide assistance should an emergency arise Here is a phrase we need to keep an eye on: related to this country or rather related to the other country For example oil tankers related to Vietnam oil tankers related to China or oil tankers linked to the U S Why use the phrase "oil tankers linked to such countries" when it's not clearly specified Which country's floating oil storage vessel is this Because most of the vessels appearing in the satellite imagery belong to international fleets Many ships will not fly the flag of any specific country of ownership with numerous vessels flying the flags of Panama the Marshall Islands Fly the flag of Liberia or fly the flag of Manta These are countries known as flag state convenience where many shipping companies register their vessels due to simpler procedures We're discussing this within a broader context but not specifically about Vietnamese ships In the maritime transport industry it's common for a vessel from one country to fly the flag of another Foreign oil tankers are actually very common If you look at maritime tracking boards you'll see numerous oil tankers Container ships or massive cargo vessels often fly the flags of Panama Liberia or the Marshall Islands It's not because they'registered there What's interesting is that those ships could be owned by a company from Japan Greece or China even Europe To understand why this is the case let's once again discuss the concept of convenience chess Simply put It refers to a ship registered under the nationality of a country different from the owner's country due to procedures related to costs and legal regulations Everything went smoothly First of all operating costs were lower A massive oil tanker Each day can incur operational costs running into tens of thousands of U S dollars therefore transportation companies are constantly seeking ways to reduce expenses The more ships you register the better When registering vessels in countries like Panama or Liberia registration fees taxes and various other costs are often significantly lower compared to registration in developed countries This allows shipowners to save a substantial amount of money over the vessel's lifetime The ship's activities resemble those old frontier tales from days gone by— whether they still exist today is uncertain If the vehicle owner registers en it's Lao license plates not Vietnamese ones Additionally there's the factor of more flexible labor regulations In many developed countries labor laws on ships are very strict with high minimum wages and stringent regulations regarding working hours and the demand for seafarers' benefits is also very high But when flying the flag of a country conveniently the regulations are usually more comfortably Shipowners can hire crew from various countries at lower costs For example A ship might have a Greek captain an Indian engine officer and Vietnamese crew members Another reason is that administrative procedures are faster and simpler In some countries registering a vessel can take a very long time a great deal of time and must meet a complex array of standards But in countries offering convenient flag services The registration process is usually very fast once the application is completed and the fee is paid the vessel can receive its international certification almost immediately Additionally there is the factor of legal flexibility and accountability When a vessel flies the flag of a country somewhere legally it is considered part of that nation's territory or located at sea Therefore the laws applicable to the vessel It also depends on the country where the flag is flown Some companies choose to fly their flag in countries with more lenient regulations for legal liability or technical inspection For these reasons many countries have become major powers For example Panama has the largest fleet of ships flying its flag in the world even though the country is not a traditional maritime power Liberia and the Marshall Islands also belong to the group of countries with a very high number of ships flying their flags Therefore it's interesting when you look at it maritime transport data you'll encounter a paradox: a ship owned by a Greek company is operated by by a Singaporean company flying the Panamanian flag with crew members from the Philippines India Vietnam and so on all working together on board a ship in the middle of the ocean In other words maritime transport is an industry profoundly globalized A single vessel It is no longer as closely tied to a single country as it once was It's like a mobile business at sea where everything including nationality and ship ownership is fluid The crew can come from many different places around the world which is why we use the term "related" here Returning to the story of the Hormuz Strait The story of thousands of Marken ships in the Hormuz Strait reveals a very clear reality abou e world today the global economy depends on a few key shipping routes if these routes are disrupted The effect will spread across the entire planet Hormuz is a prime example It is akin to a chokepoint in the global energy system It's like a button on the fuel pump part When this neck when the fuel pump butto This tightening will slow the flow of oil and as oil slows energy prices begin to rise Fuel prices rise freight costs increase goods become more expensive Ultimately consumers around the world will feel the impact cluding consumers from our very own Vietnam Thank you for following along with this story The like
