The company currently has six vessels in the Persian Gulf waterway that are under charter, meaning they belong to a third party. It will be the ship owner who decides whether or not to move through the strait, Wirth said.<\/p>\n<p>It means that ship owners and their insurers will have to feel comfortable that passage is safe for oil to begin moving again, whether or not the US and Iran reach a peace deal in the coming days. They will also have to be willing to send ships back into the strait for trade to get back to normal, Wirth said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShip owners have to be comfortable sending ships back in after having ships trapped for months and crews trapped for months,\u201d he said. \u201cThey may or may not be willing to move all of their vessels back in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(World Oil) \u2013 Several vessels transiting through the Strait of Hormuz have been attacked in recent days, underscoring&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137380,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[28],"tags":[1394,409,102,18869,101,298],"class_list":["post-137379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-strait-of-hormuz","tag-chevron","tag-crude-oil","tag-hormuz","tag-ship-attacks","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-transportation"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116662602762828331","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137379\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
