Hormuz Ship Traffic Stays Frozen, IMO Negotiating for Evacuation Corridor
International Maritime Organization Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez joins Christina Ruffini on Bloomberg This Weekend to discuss the 20,000 seafarers stranded in and around the Strait of Hormuz as the US-Iran war makes safe transport an impossibility. Ship traffic through the vital Strait of Hormuz oil channel appears to remain largely halted four weeks into the Iran war, despite efforts by Tehran to set up a system to charge for transits. Just four bulk freighters and two liquefied petroleum gas carriers crossed the waterway on Thursday, tracking data based on ships’ Automatic Identification System signals show. There were 39 in the past seven days. That compares with an average of almost 60 commercial vessels every day in 2025. Watch the full interview on Bloomberg This Weekend.
