Lloyd's shipping market intelligence unit reports that vessels which had been stranded are making their way through the Strait of Hormuz, according to shipping market sources. No further details were provided on the number of vessels or their destinations.
Shipping market intelligence firm Lloyd's reported Thursday evening that vessels previously stranded due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have begun transiting the waterway, according to shipping market sources. The report is single-sourced and does not specify the number of ships involved or their cargo. The development follows weeks of heightened tensions and maritime disruption in the strategic waterway, which saw Iran declare the strait fully closed and later enter into arrangements to restore passage. As The Zioneer has reported, U.S. military and commercial maritime authorities have been monitoring traffic in the region, with a limited number of vessels transiting over the weekend. The broader context includes conflicting claims between the U.S. and Iran over the status of the strait and several security incidents near the waterway. Lloyd's did not attribute the movement to a specific agreement or provide a timeline for full resumption of normal traffic.
