\n\tShipping industry body BIMCO has highlighted continued uncertainty over safe transit in the Strait of Hormuz despite assurances from US President Donald Trump <\/a>that the waterway is \u201cfully open\u201d.<\/p>\n


\n\tPresident Trump’s announcement on April 17 that the Strait of Hormuz is \u201cfully open is inaccurate, Jakob Larsen, chief safety & security officer at BIMCO, said in a LinkedIn post on Friday.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201c100% credible reports indicate that the status of mine threat in the Traffic Separation Scheme is not fully understood, and that shipping should consider avoidance of the area,\u201d Larsen said.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIn other words, the TSS is NOT declared safe for transit!!\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tSeparately, reports over the weekend indicated heightened tensions in the region, including an Iranian attack on a tanker<\/a> attempting to transit the strait and the detention of an Iranian-flagged vessel by US forces<\/a>.<\/p>\n
