- What Happens When 20% of the World's Exported Jet Fuel Vanishes | WSJ
- Date posted
- 2 days ago
- Description
- The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz has prevented 20% of the world’s exported jet fuel from making it to airlines around the globe, while also stopping one fifth of the world’s crude oil from reaching refineries. That’s causing ripple effects throughout the global aviation network as airlines face a summer of higher fuel costs and potential fuel shortages.
While some nations are yet to feel the immediate effects, analysts say that even if the Strait were to reopen today, it could take many months for refineries to come back online and for jet fuel shipments to make their way around the world. WSJ explores how the war in Iran could impact your travel plans.

0:00 The current jet fuel crisis
1:25 Europe’s situation
2:36 The U.S.’s situation

- Description
- Each morning, union representative Mohamed Arrachedi wakes up to dozens of WhatsApp messages and missed calls: a sailor on a cargo ship in the Persian Gulf hasn’t been paid for months; on another vessel, people are running out of food. As the regional coordinator for the International Transport Workers’ Federation, Arrachedi is one of the few people to whom sailors stranded since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz can turn for help.
So far, Arrachedi and his team have received more than 2,000 requests for assistance. Conditions in the strait, he said, are getting worse. “There is absolutely no precedent to what is happening now,” said Arrachedi.
WSJ explores how one man responds to the daily calls for help from sailors facing bombs and dwindling supplies due to the Iran War.
