The conflict in the Middle East continues to disrupt shipping across the region, including in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s busiest maritime routes.
The US and Iran have agreed to a provisional two-week ceasefire, which includes a temporary reopening of the strait. But maritime traffic through the narrow channel linking the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman remains affected, with vessels still facing delays, diversions and heightened security risks as the situation evolves.
Ports and shipping companies are continuing to operate amid uncertainty, while cruise ships carrying thousands of tourists have faced disruption across the region.
We would like to hear from maritime workers, port staff and shipping crews about how the situation is affecting your work.
