en.Wedoany.com Reported - Danish shipping company Maersk has stated that the resumption of the Hormuz Strait route will remain cautious, despite the announced ceasefire between the United States and Iran. The company said that the current local situation and the details of the ceasefire are not yet clear enough to support a return to normal operations.

Maersk pointed out that any decision to resume vessel transits through the Hormuz Strait route will depend on continuous risk assessments, close monitoring of the situation, and guidance from authorities and partners. The company emphasized that the safety of crew, vessels, and cargo remains the top priority.

Earlier this year, the conflict escalated due to US-Israeli attacks on Iran, followed by Iranian attacks within the region, leading to the closure of the Hormuz Strait. This nearly halted shipping activities in the Gulf region and impacted global supply chains. Maersk stated that it currently will not adjust existing services, but visibility in the region remains low, and the situation could change rapidly in the coming days.

Maersk had previously suspended freight bookings to several Gulf ports and imposed an emergency bunker surcharge due to rising fuel costs. To manage cargo flow, the company is using alternative routes via a land bridge system, transshipping cargo through ports such as Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, Salalah and Sohar in Oman, and Khor Fakkan in the UAE, then transporting it overland across the Gulf region.

Maersk said it will continue to closely monitor the situation and will inform customers of any changes to schedules, routes, or contingency plans once the situation becomes clearer. The company also advised customers to stay in touch with local representatives and consider alternative options such as land and air transportation.
