The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could help ease pressure on global logistics and energy markets, but it does not necessarily mean an immediate return to normal shipping conditions.
According to sea-news.az based on the views of Rauf Agamirzayev carriers, traders, and oil buyers have already established alternative routes and supply chains during the crisis period. As a result, restoring previous trade flows will take time. High insurance premiums, accumulated cargo in ports, ongoing security risks, and potential demining operations are also expected to slow the normalization process.
From a transport and logistics perspective, the key conclusion is that even when geopolitical crises end, supply chains take significantly longer to recover. Recent global logistics trends show that companies prefer to diversify routes to reduce risks and are in no hurry to return to previous levels of dependency.
This means that while the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz sends a positive signal for oil and cargo markets, full stability in global shipping may still take months to achieve.
