Strait of Hormuz flow will take ‘weeks’ to resume, largest tanker operator warns

Mitsui OSK Lines warns that shipping flow in the Strait of Hormuz will take weeks to resume. The tanker operator emphasizes that fleet owners must rebuild confidence following the US-Iran deal. These prolonged traffic disruptions could exacerbate global oil supply issues, potentially impacting energy markets and geopolitical stability. The situation remains critical as the industry awaits a full return to normal operations in one of the world's most vital maritime corridors for energy transport.
