Maersk has confirmed that its vessel Maersk Baltimore and a time-chartered vessel have safely exited the Persian Gulf following a successful transit through the Strait of Hormuz. The vessels completed their passage late on June 24 and into the early hours of June 25 after the company conducted detailed security assessments in coordination with its regional security partners. Maersk said both transits were completed without incident. Following the departures, the carrier has three vessels remaining in the Persian Gulf and plans to carry out one additional transit through the Strait of Hormuz at a later stage. To maintain cargo flows within the region, Maersk said the two remaining operational vessels will continue serving customers on intra-Gulf routes. The company added that it continues to closely monitor the security situation, stressing that the safety of its crews, vessels and customers’ cargo remains its top priority.
