Shipowners hold off on Hormuz transit until US-Iran deal proves ‘material’
Shipowners are delaying transit through the Strait of Hormuz until the US-Iran deal is confirmed as 'material,' according to Mitsui O.S.K. Lines' CEO. The US-Israeli strikes on Iran, beginning February 28, disrupted shipping of oil, liquefied natural gas, aluminium, and urea through the critical transit route.
