Sea traffic in the Strait of Hormuz reaches highest level since April

On June 18, a record number of 25 commercial ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz, five times higher than the average for the first ten days of June and the highest since mid-April. This increase followed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran on Wednesday. However, planned discussions in Switzerland regarding Iran's nuclear program were postponed. Mine-clearing operations continue in the strait, and shipping companies must remain cautious until insurers restore normal coverage conditions.

Um total de 25 navios comerciais atravessaram o estreito de Ormuz na quinta-feira, 18 de junho, um volume cinco vezes superior à média dos primeiros dez dias de junho e sem precedentes desde meados de abril, segundo dados da plataforma marítima AXSMarine.

Trata-se do número mais elevado num único dia desde os 28 trânsitos registados a 18 de abril, que coincidiram com uma breve janela de reabertura do tráfego comercial neste estreito, pelo qual transita, em condições normais, cerca de 20% da produção mundial de petróleo e outras matérias-primas.

O pico observado na quinta-feira seguiu-se à assinatura do memorando de entendimento entre os Estados Unidos e o Irão na quarta-feira.

No entanto, as discussões previstas para esta sexta-feira na Suíça, que deveriam dar início a um processo de 60 dias para resolver a questão central do programa nuclear iraniano, foram adiadas.

Além disso, as operações de remoção de minas no estreito de Ormuz continuam e os armadores devem agir com cautela até que as seguradoras restabeleçam condições normais de cobertura, acrescentou a organização marítima.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual data about maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz without overtly favoring any political perspective. It mentions events such as the U.S.-Iran agreement and mine-clearing operations but does so neutrally, without evaluative language or emphasis on one side over another
