There are still 400 ships trapped in Hormuz due to the war, Maritime Organization warns

The International Maritime Organization warned that there are still approximately 400 ships trapped in the Gulf of Oman due to the war, unable to navigate normally. The situation represents a significant obstacle to international maritime trade.

The IMO alert refers to the deterioration of maritime security on a global scale. The organization identifies multiple conflict zones affecting navigation, including the Black Sea, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden, where the situation is also concerning.

The multiple simultaneous maritime crises have forced authorities to closely monitor the evolution of events. The impact extends beyond direct conflict zones, affecting trade routes in various parts of the world.
