But this is only a limited reopening, conditional on a halt to attacks and on operational coordination that, in practice, changes the rules of passage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From an operational standpoint, the figures still show a critical picture. According to an official British statement to the UN Security Council, <strong>only 9 ships transited in the past 24 hours, against a normal flow that can reach up to 150 per day<\/strong>. Traffic is therefore still effectively blocked. What weighs most is the caution of operators. The main shipping companies still do not consider the passage safe: decisions are being taken case by case, rather than through a resumption of regular routes. Shipowners\u2019 associations also describe the situation as \u2018unpredictable\u2019, with any return to the area dependent on concrete security guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, a significant backlog has built up. <strong>Estimates \u062a\u0634\u064a\u0631 to around 200 tankers waiting in the region, with more than 170 million barrels of crude and refined products held up.<\/strong> Some assessments also point to as many as 1,000 ships stalled in the area and normalization times of between 6 and 8 weeks, even in the event of stabilization.<br \/>\nEnergy markets reacted immediately. The oil price fell below 100 dollars a barrel, with declines of more than 10%. This is, however, a reaction linked to the reduction of extreme risk, not to a return to normality. <strong>Critical issues remain over insurance, vessel availability and supply chain stability.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From a geopolitical perspective, the situation remains fragile. <strong>The UN Security Council failed to approve a resolution on maritime security<\/strong> because of a veto by China and Russia. At the same time, there has been discussion of possible conditions or tariffs for transit, but on this point there is no verifiable confirmation. <strong>From a security standpoint too, the risk remains high. In the same hours, an attack was reported on a container ship south of Kish Island,<\/strong> while an earlier episode caused <strong>casualties among the crew of a Thai vessel<\/strong>. These are signs that operational risk has not receded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TRIESTE &#8211; Only a partial reopening, and under strict conditions, in the Strait of
