ME News update. On April 8 (UTC+8), Danish shipping company Maersk said on the 8th that the U.S. and Iran’s announcement of a ceasefire still cannot sufficiently ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The company said it is taking a cautious view of the current situation and will not resume the shipping routes that were suspended last month. In a statement, Maersk said that although a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran may create opportunities for navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, there are still uncertainties regarding maritime safety, and it needs to understand the ceasefire’s accompanying conditions. The company said it will continue to closely monitor developments and provide timely updates on the latest progress in the coming hours to days, depending on how the situation evolves. “Any decisions regarding the Strait of Hormuz are based on ongoing risk assessments, close monitoring of the security situation, and guidance from relevant authorities and cooperation partners.” (Source: ODAILY)
