Major shipping companies like Maersk are unlikely to immediately resume normal operations through the Strait of Hormuz, even with a US-Iran peace deal. Observers cite ongoing concerns about the waterway's security and the long-term viability of the agreement. Industry insiders suggest the deal's impact on global shipping depends on whether the US extends sanctions relief beyond the initial framework and on efforts to clear mines. While a framework accord was announced this week, suspending hostilities for 60 days of negotiations, Maersk stated it is too early to assess its implications for maritime operations.

As US President Donald Trump moves to reopen the Strait of Hormuz through a peace deal with Iran, major shipping companies such as Maersk are likely to stop short of resuming normal operations in the near term amid lingering concerns about the waterway’s security and the durability of the agreement, according to observers.Some industry insiders said the deal’s impact on the global shipping industry would hinge on whether the United States extended sanctions relief beyond the initial agreement, as well as on sustained efforts to clear mines from the strategic waterway.Washington and Tehran announced a framework accord earlier this week, suspending hostilities and giving both sides 60 days to negotiate a settlement on some of the main points of contention in the relationship – including Iran’s nuclear programme. But while Danish shipping giant Maersk welcomed the development, it cautioned that it was still too early to gauge its implications for regional logistics and maritime operations.
