According to sea-news.az that even after the resumption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, resilience will remain the primary determining factor for the global logistics system. This was stated by a representative of the International Transport Forum (ITF) in an exclusive comment to the Trend news agency. The organization noted that the ITF is closely monitoring developments in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as other factors causing disruptions in global logistics.
According to the ITF, global transport systems are currently facing chain threats related to climate risks, economic instability, technological failures, health crises, and geopolitical tensions. Consequently, the logistics sector is shifting its priorities to align with current challenges. Forum officials emphasized that the focus globally has shifted from mere efficiency to resilience. Resilience refers to the ability of transport networks to operate continuously under the stress and uncertainty caused by climate change and digital risks. The organization believes that resilient transport networks not only ensure the continuity of economic activity but also increase the sector’s ability to react swiftly to sudden disruptions, protect the most vulnerable population groups, support faster recovery, and encourage learning and innovation.
It should be recalled that due to the lack of concrete results in the nuclear program negotiations between the United States and Iran, the U.S. and Israel began conducting airstrikes against Iran on February 28. Since that day, Iran has carried out missile and drone attacks against Israel and U.S. facilities in the region. On April 7, with the mediation of Pakistan, the parties reached a ceasefire agreement. Subsequently, on June 18, a peace memorandum was signed between Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and U.S. President Donald Trump, which entered into force on June 19. On June 21, the first round of talks between the parties was held with the mediation of Pakistan and Qatar. One of the main topics discussed was the restoration of safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, considered one of the world’s most important strategic maritime passages. Since approximately one-fifth of global oil supplies, as well as a significant portion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade, pass through this strait, its continuous operation is of critical importance for global maritime shipping, energy markets, and international supply chains.
