Maersk reported that two of its vessels, the Maersk Baltimore and a time-chartered vessel, successfully crossed the strategic Strait of Hormuz and safely exited the Persian Gulf area.
"The transits were completed in close coordination with our security partners and after thorough risk assessments. We are pleased to confirm that both passages were successful and no incidents occurred," the Danish shipping company announced.
"The decision to initiate transit through the Strait of Hormuz was made after meticulous security assessments and based on the recommendations of security partners in the region," it added.
In line with Maersk's report, the company still has three vessels in the Persian Gulf. "At a later stage, we will conduct an additional transit through the Strait of Hormuz. We continue to prioritize the safety of our seafarers, vessels, and our customers' cargo," it emphasized.
"Our customers' needs continue to be at the heart of our business. Throughout the current conflict in the region, we have continued to serve our customers in the best possible way, replenishing our vessels and performing crew changes without significant challenges. We also implemented alternative solutions, such as land bridges and air connections, to continue meeting our customers' needs," it added.
At the beginning of the conflict, 47,000 containers destined for the Persian Gulf region were on board Maersk vessels. Of the total, 44,000 have already been delivered, while another 3,000 are awaiting the final leg, the shipping company specified.
"To maintain the movement of trade flows between the Gulf countries, Maersk will deploy the two remaining vessels on internal services within the Gulf, serving customers and markets in the Persian Gulf," the company stated.
