The government of Oman has announced the opening of a temporary maritime corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, accessible to all ships without the imposition of transit fees. The measure has been coordinated with the International Maritime Organization and aims to restore traffic on one of the world's most important maritime routes, after months of tensions and restrictions caused by the conflict in the region.
The decision comes following agreements between the United States and Iran to reduce tensions and resume navigation in the area. The Strait of Hormuz is a key point for global energy trade, through which approximately 20% of the world's oil flow passed before the conflict. Oman and Iran share control over the narrowest part of the strait and are holding discussions regarding the future management of this strategic waterway.
