Shipping continues through Strait of Hormuz despite attack on Ever Lovely and IMO plan suspension
By
Joshua Minchin
Summary
The IMO's evacuation plan for the Strait of Hormuz — developed with Oman, Iran, and the US — remains suspended after the containership Ever Lovely was struck by a projectile while transiting the southern route. Despite the attack and the IMO pausing its initiative, shipping traffic through both Hormuz routes continues largely unabated. Operators are weighing conflicting signals from Iran against the risks of staying put, and the IMO secretary-general is still seeking firm assurances that ships using the corridor will not be attacked.
