As US President Donald Trump moves to reopen the Strait of Hormuz through a peace deal with Iran<\/a>, major shipping companies such as Maersk are likely to stop short of resuming normal operations in the near term amid lingering concerns about the waterway\u2019s security and the durability of the agreement, according to observers.<\/p>\n

Some industry insiders said the deal\u2019s impact on the global shipping industry would hinge on whether the United States extended sanctions relief beyond the initial agreement, as well as on sustained efforts to clear mines from the strategic waterway.<\/p>\n

Washington and Tehran announced a framework accord earlier this week, suspending hostilities and giving both sides 60 days to negotiate a settlement on some of the main points of contention in the relationship \u2013 including Iran\u2019s nuclear programme<\/a>. But while Danish shipping giant Maersk welcomed the development, it cautioned that it was still too early to gauge its implications for regional logistics and maritime operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this stage, there are no changes to our operations in the Middle East,\u201d the company told the South China Morning Post on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

American and Iranian officials are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding<\/a> in Switzerland on Friday aimed at ending the conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, after shipping has been at a near standstill since the US and Israel launched military strikes on Iran in late February.<\/p>\n

The strait serves as a critical artery of global trade and, before the conflict, carried about one-fifth of the world\u2019s seaborne oil and liquefied natural gas, as well as critical agricultural inputs such as urea.<\/p>\n

Although the agreement promises to restore commercial shipping and ease some restrictions on Iran, analysts said the industry was likely to adopt a wait-and-see approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As US President Donald Trump moves to reopen the Strait of Hormuz through a peace deal with Iran,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110698,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[224],"tags":[174,184,40167,2012,2271,3126,245,55837,4174,55835,5339,17961,4505,76,55836],"class_list":["post-110697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-maersk","tag-china","tag-donald-trump","tag-fitch-ratings","tag-hapag-lloyd","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-maersk","tag-marinetraffic","tag-middle-east","tag-mitsui-o-s-k-lines","tag-south-china-morning-post","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-switzerland","tag-united-states","tag-veson-nautical"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116768161606437387","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110697\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
