As the war between the United States and Iran continues to drag on, Heung-A Shipping is experiencing a sharp surge in its stock price.
As of 9:33 a.m. on March 23, Heung-A Shipping was trading at 3,620 won, up 19.47% from the previous trading day.
With the United States considering the deployment of ground forces to Iran and Iran continuing its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the protracted conflict has increased uncertainty in global transportation networks.
Heung-A Shipping's stock price has been soaring for several consecutive days following reports that its largest shareholder, Sinokor Merchant Marine, owns a significant number of VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers) operating near the Strait of Hormuz.
