The strait is now a toll lane
Blockade and tolls price the passage itself. The reroute and the levy are the same hand on the rate.
Re-imposing a blockade and adding tolls in Hormuz is the map of the strait as an economic instrument: the shipping of the waterway is now also the toll of the passage. The lanes the market plans must price the toll of the risk.
The strait is the toll of the lane
The blockade changes the insurance, the route, the timing; the tolls change the cost. The carrier that prices both — the reroute and the levy — keeps the margin while the market adjusts.
The cost of the strait is now the toll, not just the detour.
The shipping of Hormuz is the shipping of the policy now — the fleet that reads it reads the future of the rate.
