A select group of shipping firms from Greece are navigating crude oil and dry bulk tankers through the high-risk Strait of Hormuz, braving potential strikes from Iran in pursuit of substantial maritime profits. These high-stakes voyages come as the conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iranian forces has effectively blocked a significant portion of the world’s energy supply, driving up the value of Brent Crude Oil and West Texas Oil.
