Sailors Now Get War Pay To Cross The Strait Of Hormuz
Bloomberg reports Sinokor and rival lines are dangling six months' extra salary after missiles hit tankers this month.
- Sinokor and rival carriers now offer six months' extra salary for a single Hormuz transit.
- The offers follow missile strikes on tankers, including the supertanker Acheloos, earlier this month.
- Iran's Revolutionary Guard claims two tankers exploded in the strait, stalling shipping traffic there.
Why it matters: A war's real toll is priced first into the wage a company pays a man to face it.
