Three reasons ships are not going through the Strait of Hormuz yet (opens original article in a new tab)

TL;DR

Despite the US-Iran deal, few ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, with security risks, mines, and potential tolls delaying full reopening.

  • MarineTraffic data shows only seven vessels have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since the US-Iran deal announcement, with 580 ships waiting in the Gulf.
  • Iran closed the Strait after US and Israeli strikes, and security risks, mines, and tolls are hindering traffic recovery.
  • Experts note that mine-clearing will take 30 days to six months, and new tolls may further delay full reopening.
