Weekend Lull Fails to Unlock Strait of Hormuz Shipping as Attacks Pause
A weekend lull in US-Iran attacks brought no relief to Strait of Hormuz shipping, with commercial traffic at around 12 daily passages and crude tanker transits at about one per day. The Pentagon halted its bombing campaign late Friday after 13 consecutive nights, but shipowners remain wary. Meanwhile, the Lloyd's Market Association published model wording (LMA5708) that could void hull cover for vessels paying transit fees, and US Central Command continued enforcement operations, including disabling a tanker in the Gulf of Oman.
