Ships Begin Moving After Deal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz

Commercial vessels began moving through the Strait of Hormuz after an agreement to reopen the waterway. Shipping companies are attempting to extract vessels that had been stranded by earlier disruptions.

Companies face complications from possible mines and the absence of unified coordination for safe passage. The lack of clear guidance has slowed the pace of departures from ports in the region. Vessels are proceeding with extra caution while operators assess routes and security conditions. Some firms have delayed sailings until additional information becomes available.

The gradual restart affects cargo schedules and insurance arrangements for vessels using the route. Companies continue to monitor developments as they seek to resume normal operations.
