[Analysis: Even if Hormuz reopens, 1,500 stranded vessels may take weeks or even months to fully resume passage] BlockBeats News, May 25 — According to a report by *The New York Times*, although the United States and Iran are nearing an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the passage of approximately 1,500 vessels stranded in the Persian Gulf for nearly three months will still face complex coordination challenges, making it difficult for global energy transportation to quickly return to normal in the short term. The report states that even after the strait officially reopens, shipping companies will still need to address issues such as vessel prioritization, transit permits, route arrangements, and potential risks from underwater mines. Industry experts predict that even if the agreement is finalized, it may take weeks or even months to restore the pre-war level of 130 vessels passing through daily. Since the Strait of Hormuz accounts for about one-fifth of global oil and gas transportation, the slow recovery of logistics also implies that international energy prices are unlikely to drop quickly in the short term. Jakob Larsen, Head of Security at the Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO), stated that relevant authorities may need to implement speed limits and unified scheduling in the future to avoid risks of vessel collisions or groundings.
