Maersk says it is still avoiding transits through the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that maritime conditions remain too volatile despite the latest ceasefire messaging between the United States and Iran. The carrier’s advisory suggests major operators still do not see enough security certainty to resume normal routing through the Gulf.
