Episode Details

Despite a conditional ceasefire opening the Strait of Hormuz, a mass exodus of ships is unlikely due to Irans strict regulations. Two thousand vessels with twenty thousand seafarers are trapped, needing Irans permission for safe passage. Irans ten-point plan keeps old rules, banning US or Israel links and potentially charging up to two million dollars per ship. Crew members and owners are anxious, with over twenty ships attacked since the war started. Unions and the UNs shipping agency stress safety guarantees before any movement. A few vessels have slipped through via a new route, but traffic is still low, with ship firms keeping their vessels out until risks drop.
