The U.S. Central Command has stated that the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for global oil supplies, remains open despite recent tensions and statements suggesting potential closures.
The statement, initially reported by Fox News, comes amidst heightened concerns over maritime security in the region.
Adding to the concerns, the CEO of container shipping company Ocean Network Express, Jeremy Nixon, indicated that approximately 100 container vessels, representing about 10% of the global container ship fleet, are currently affected by the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Marine insurers have reportedly ceased covering voyages through the Strait, a waterway situated between Iran and Oman, which facilitates roughly one-fifth of the world's oil consumption, in addition to substantial gas shipments.
The disruption raises concerns about potential backups and delays in major shipping hubs and ports across Europe and Asia.
The U.S. Central Command did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
