A second China-linked bulk carrier, the Sino Ocean, broadcasted "CHINA OWNER_ALL CREW" while transiting the Strait of Hormuz to mitigate risks of IRGC attacks. This follows a similar incident with the Iron Maiden. Reports suggest Iran may allow only Chinese vessels to pass through the chokepoint, leading to a potential monopoly on the trade route. Meanwhile, many vessels are stranded due to insurance cancellations amid rising tensions. The U.S. is considering a $20 billion reinsurance program to address the situation, but no clear operational plan has been established yet.

$COSCO SHIP HOLD(01919.HK) has become a bit interesting again recently. Any movement from Trump's side can affect port freight rates. Honestly, such short-term stimulus, purely chasing rallies based on news, is a bit too much for the heart, but it really hurts to miss out on this wave. However, shipping is still a cyclical stock. The right approach is probably to trade less and watch more.
