Anglo-Eastern is reinforcing fleet security through its Global Security Desk (GSD) as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz enters its fourth month.
The company said 16 vessels and more than 350 seafarers from over 12 nationalities are directly affected by the disruption.
Anglo-Eastern uses its centralized Global Security Desk to monitor threats, support crews and coordinate operational decisions across its managed fleet.
The company said the current maritime risk environment extends beyond the Strait of Hormuz and includes the Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb, Gulf of Guinea, east coast of Somalia, Straits of Malacca and the Black Sea.
Anglo-Eastern established the GSD in 2024 to provide structured maritime intelligence and risk assessment for shipowners and operators.
The desk currently supports a managed fleet of more than 700 vessels, with between 30 and 50 ships transiting high-risk areas at any given time.
The company said the system combines intelligence from naval and maritime security organizations with direct coordination involving flag states, P&I clubs and industry bodies.
Anglo-Eastern added that the GSD also supports crisis response, crew welfare, provisioning and communication with stakeholders during periods of prolonged disruption.
“What the current environment demands is not more information, but better interpretation,” said Swapnodeep Mondal, Group Managing Director, Operations and Shared Services at Anglo-Eastern.
The company said it remains focused on integrating actionable security intelligence into daily fleet operations as geopolitical and maritime risks continue to intensify.
