The head of Japan's Mitsui Oske Shipping Co., Ltd. said that due to the recent attacks, the duration of the blockage of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz may exceed previous expectations. The company's president, Jotaro Tamura, said that it will be difficult to resume shipping during the year, and the risk level of the current situation has far exceeded what the company can bear. Tamura said that if Mitsui Osk Line wants to resume normal navigation, it needs to be convinced that traffic safety can be guaranteed even after multiple voyages.
