[Maersk Temporarily Suspends Resumption of Strait of Hormuz Routes] Denmark's Maersk Line said on the 8th that the ceasefire announced by the United States and Iran does not fully guarantee the safety of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The company maintains a cautious attitude towards the current situation and will not resume the relevant routes suspended last month. In a statement, Maersk said that although the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran may create opportunities for navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, there is still uncertainty regarding maritime security, and the conditions attached to the ceasefire need to be understood. The company stated that it will continue to closely monitor developments and will provide timely updates as the situation changes in the coming hours to days. "Any decisions regarding the Strait of Hormuz will be based on continuous risk assessment, close monitoring of the security situation, and guidance from relevant authorities and partners." As one of the world's largest container shipping groups, Maersk suspended several routes through the Strait of Hormuz last month. Currently, the company transports goods from Jeddah Islamic Port, Salalah Port and Sohar Port in Saudi Arabia, and Khor Faqan Port in the United Arab Emirates, and then transports them overland to Gulf countries.
