“Given the Iranian threat to American military bases in the region, the availability of warships for commercial shipping is probably limited, especially for commercial ships there is no affiliation with the US or Israel,” Larsen said.

The Straight of Hormuz handles less than 4% of the global container business, but the ports of Jebel Ali and Khor Fakkan are important intermediary points for the global shipping network in the region.

Most cargo volumes from those ports are lucky for Dubai, which has become a center for the movement of goods with feeder services in Persian Gulf, South Asia and East Africa.

In light of the latest wave of defense measures, Bimco is encouraging ship owners to review their safety risk assessment and considering carefully mitigation measures.

“Merchant ships in the region should consider reducing their risk for hazards from Iran, for example, rooting away from the Iranian coast,” Larsen said. “We also recommend that the ship maintain close contact for naval forces in the area through UK marine trade operations, maintain strong vigilance and increase lookouts, report suspicious visions and events to UKMTOs, and increase the ships to absorb the damage by ensuring the readiness of damage control organization including watertite integrity and firefighting capacity.

“Bimco never recommends the ship owners to stay completely away from a struggle area. Such a decision must be taken by the ship owner, taking into account all the relevant factors of safety risk evaluation, for example, for example, threats, weaknesses of the ship, and the risk acceptance level of the ship owner and cargo owner.”
