Πρόωρες θεωρούν τις εκτιμήσεις για γρήγορη επιστροφή στην κανονικότητα στα Στενά του Ορμούζ οι επικεφαλής μεγάλων διεθνών ναυτιλιακών εταιρειών, ενώ την ίδια στιγμή ο γενικός γραμματέας του Διεθνούς Ναυτιλιακού Οργανισμού (IMO) Αρσένιο Ντομίνγκεζ ζητεί μέτρα προστασίας των ναυτικών.

Major shipping companies are cautious about a swift return to normalcy in the Strait of Hormuz, citing ongoing instability. Rodolphe Saadé, CEO of CMA CGM, emphasized that even a peace deal wouldn't guarantee an end to future crises.

This call comes amidst reports of incidents, including an attack on a vessel in the Persian Gulf that injured eight sailors, and the disappearance of two crew members from a "shadow fleet" tanker following a fire in the Gulf of Oman.
The ongoing instability in critical shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz directly impacts global trade, increases operational costs for shipping companies, and poses significant safety risks to maritime personnel.
