BIMCO Issues Warning on the Strait of Hormuz: Ship Transits Remain Risky

Although it was announced that a peace agreement had been reached between the U.S. and Iran and that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, the shipping industry organization BIMCO issued a notable warning. The organization stated that it considers the resumption of shipping traffic under current conditions to be high-risk. 

The shipping industry organization BIMCO reported that resuming ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz carries high risks under current conditions.

The organization noted that the security situation in the region remains volatile and stated that the threat of mines in the Strait of Hormuz continues to be a cause for concern for the shipping industry.

BIMCO stated that the process of resuming maritime traffic must be managed with great care.

According to the organization, the resumption of transit through the Strait of Hormuz should ideally be guided by a neutral body such as the United Nations.
