At 17:02 GMT on 28 February, a tugboat issued a distress signal and requested immediate assistance. The vessel subsequently sank.

2月28日17时02分（格林尼治标准时间），一艘拖船发出遇险信号，报告"发生不受控制的海水入侵"，请求紧急援助。随后沉没。

 

There were 18 people on board. As of 1 March, public information confirmed 12 survivors, one person presumed deceased, and five still missing. Search and rescue operations continue in severe weather conditions.

船上18人，截至3月1日公开信息显示，12人获救，1人被推定死亡，仍有5人失踪，搜救仍在恶劣天气中持续。

 

Simultaneously, a series of merchant vessel attacks occurred in the Gulf of Oman and adjacent waters:

几乎同一时间，阿曼湾及周边海域连续出现商船遇袭：

 

A Greek-owned, Liberian-flagged tanker was struck by a drone or missile. No casualties or significant damage are reported, and the vessel continued to its destination port;

一艘希腊所有、悬挂利比里亚旗的油轮遭无人机或导弹袭击，未造成人员伤亡或严重损坏，继续驶往目的港；

 

A cargo vessel was attacked in waters off Oman, resulting in the death of an engine room crew member;

一艘在阿曼附近海域的货船遭袭，一名机舱船员遇难；

 

A Spanish-flagged vessel was attacked approximately 20 nautical miles off the UAE coast;

一艘距阿联酋海岸约20海里的西班牙旗船只遭袭；

 

A Palau-flagged vessel was struck 5 nautical miles off the Omani coast. Crew members abandoned ship, and 4 people sustained injuries;

一艘悬挂帕劳旗的船只在阿曼海岸5海里处被击中，船员弃船，4人受伤；

 

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported multiple incidents of abnormal explosions or attacks in the region.

英国海事贸易行动处（UKMTO）报告该区域多起异常爆炸或袭击信息。

 

This afternoon, at least three ships were attacked near the Strait of Hormuz. UKMTO reported that two vessels had been struck, and an "unknown projectile" was reported to have "exploded in very close proximity" to a third.

今天下午，至少三艘船只在霍尔木兹海峡附近遭到袭击，英国海事贸易运营中心（UKMTO）表示，两艘船只遭到袭击，据报道，一枚"不明弹丸"在第三艘船只附近"爆炸"，国际航运在海峡入口处几乎陷入停滞。

 

Meanwhile, airspace across multiple Middle Eastern countries contracted sharply. Dubai International Airport experienced temporary suspension, while operations in Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain were restricted.

与此同时，中东多国空域骤然收缩。迪拜国际机场一度停摆，多哈、阿布扎比、巴林运行受限。

 

Problems occurred at sea and in the air simultaneously.

海上与空中，在同一时间段承压。

Crew Change: Currently Viable Options

船员换班：目前仍可操作的路径

 

According to CIRIUM database statistics, Chinese Mainland previously maintained 54 routes to the Middle East, with approximately 230 weekly flights. Guangzhou and Beijing both provided connectivity to 8 Middle Eastern cities. Current operational status has changed significantly.

根据CIRIUM数据库统计，中国内地原有54条中东航线，每周约230班航班。广州、北京均通达8个中东城市。当前运行状态已发生明显变化。

 

Airports and directions that remain relatively accessible or operational (subject to change):

目前相对仍可执行或具备操作空间的机场与方向（随时可能调整）：

 

1.Saudi Arabia Option

1.沙特方向

 

King Fahd International Airport, Dammam

达曼法赫德国王国际机场

 

Located relatively close to Bahrain by land, this serves as a practical option for connecting flights after overland transfer from the UAE, Qatar, or Bahrain. Flight delays exist, but schedules remain planned.

距巴林陆路较近，是当前从阿联酋、卡塔尔、巴林陆路转运后衔接航班的现实选择。航班存在延误，但仍在计划中。

 

King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah

吉达阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王国际机场

 

Individual flights continue to operate, though China-bound services are quite limited.

仍有个别航班执行，中国方向航班较为有限。

 

King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh

利雅得哈立德国王国际机场

 

Certain Saudia flights往返 Chinese Mainland have not been fully cancelled.

沙特航空部分往返中国内地航班尚未全部取消。

 

Practical operational route:

现实操作路径：

 

UAE/Qatar/Bahrain → Overland transfer into Saudi Arabia → Dammam/Riyadh/Jeddah → Connecting flight to China (currently temporarily viable, subject to change based on actual circumstances).

阿联酋/卡塔尔/巴林 → 陆路进入沙特 → 达曼/利雅得/吉达 → 转机回国（目前暂时可行，会根据实际情况发生变动）。

 

Time and costs have increased significantly, but the route remains feasible.

时间与成本明显上升，但目前可行。

 

2.Oman Option

2.阿曼方向

 

Muscat International Airport

马斯喀特国际机场

 

Flights are currently operating, making this one of the relatively stable exit points, although seat availability is tight and there is a risk of last-minute adjustments.

目前仍有航班运行，是相对稳定的出口之一，但座位紧张、临时调整风险存在。

 

3.Hubs with Severe Restrictions or Suspensions

3.已大面积受限或暂停的枢纽

 

Dubai International Airport

迪拜国际机场

 

Hamad International Airport, Doha

多哈哈马德国际机场

 

Abu Dhabi International Airport

阿布扎比国际机场

 

Bahrain International Airport

巴林国际机场

 

Operations face large-scale cancellations or uncertainty; these are not recommended as primary crew change hubs.

运行存在大规模取消或不确定性，不建议作为换班主路径。

 

Direct Impact on Crew Changes

对船员换班的直接影响

 

Previously established crew change routes via Dubai and Doha are no longer viable;

原经迪拜、多哈中转的成熟路径失效；

 

Crew members with expiring contracts may face extensions;

合同期满人员可能面临延期；

 

Seafarers awaiting embarkation ashore need to rebook and reroute;

已在岸等待登船的船员需改签改道；

 

Cross-border land transfers have become a practical option, requiring real-time confirmation of visa and border control policies.

陆路跨境转运成为现实选项，签证与边检政策需实时确认。

 

For vessels operating long-term in the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Gulf of Oman, crew change planning has shifted from a "scheduling issue" to a "cross-border coordination challenge."

对于长期在波斯湾、红海、阿曼湾运营的船舶来说，换班计划已从"排班问题"转变为"跨境协调问题"。

 

Three Real-World Variables inTankers and Bulk Cargo Transport

油轮与大宗运输：三个现实变量

 

1.Rising war risk premiums.

一、战争险费率上行。 

 

Voyage costs are directly increasing, particularly for tankers and product carriers with regular itineraries in the Persian Gulf.

航次成本直接抬升，尤其是长期往返波斯湾的油轮、成品油船。

 

2.Extended voyage and port call assessment periods.

二、靠港与航次评估周期拉长。

 

Port security levels have heightened, and certain voyages require additional security clearances.

港口安保等级提高，部分航次需要额外安全确认。

 

3.Increased working capital pressure.

三、资金占用增加。 

 

Uncertainty in voyage duration and operational timelines translates into greater inventory and cash flow strain. For the transportation of crude oil, refined products, iron ore, coal, and other bulk commodities, this will manifest in shifts in trade rhythms.

航程与操作时间的不确定，意味着库存与现金流压力上升。对于原油、成品油、铁矿石、煤炭等大宗运输而言，这将体现在贸易节奏上。

 

The Cascading Effects of Maritime-Aviation Linkage

海空联动带来的连锁效应

 

Airspace contraction impacts not only crew changes but also:

空域收缩不仅影响换班，还影响：

 

Air freight of critical spare parts

关键备件空运

 

Technical personnel deployment

技术人员调配

 

Emergency medical evacuations

紧急医疗转运

 

Maritime service personnel mobility

海事服务人员流动

 

When air corridors narrow, maritime operational resilience naturally decreases.

当空中通道变窄，海上运行弹性自然降低。

 

War is incredibly cruel. It takes the breath of the living and leaves no trace of the crew members who went missing at sea. Those ordinary people caught in the crossfire should not have to endure this. Ships must still sail, and cargo must still be transported. Today, many people are not only checking voyage reports but also constantly updating the news—because those they care about may be in danger.

那名在机舱遇难的船员，是这轮袭击中确认的第一位遇难者。

那艘沉没的拖船，还有5人下落未明。

战争的残酷，从来不只体现在地图上。

普通人何其无辜。

船还在走，货还在运。

只是很多人这几天打开的，不只是航次报表，还有不断刷新的新闻页面。
