A maritime trade organization has expressed concern over the United States’ plans to ensure safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The statement came after a Maersk vessel successfully crossed the strait under heavy escort, which the organization described as only a minor development in resolving broader disruptions to maritime traffic.
Tim Wilkins, managing director of Intertanko, which represents independent tanker owners and operators, told BBC Radio 4 that the passage of one ship under strict security did not signal a major change for other vessels still stranded. He said there was no organized security team or coordination mechanism in place for safe transit, prompting members to ask who would initiate and manage such operations.
Wilkins added that shipowners were discussing these critical questions with their crews, particularly regarding communication with authorities and contingency plans if Iranian forces obstructed movement. The organization’s comments highlight ongoing uncertainty about maritime safety in the region.
