The mission follows a US-Iran peace agreement that officially reopened the Strait of Hormuz after months of conflict had brought shipping through the critical chokepoint to a near standstill. IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez called the move \"a decisive step towards restoring maritime security\" and said ships will exit via two temporary maritime corridors while the prewar traffic lanes are still deemed unsafe.\n\nThe closure of the strait — through which roughly 20% of the world's traded oil flows — sent energy prices surging and disrupted global supplies of fertilizers and other commodities. Fourteen seafarers lost their lives during the conflict, and cargo vessels remained locked in place for months with crews unable to leave. The reopening brought an immediate surge in traffic: 36 commodity vessels passed through on a single day last week, the highest figure since the crisis began. The evacuation is being carried out in close coordination with Iran, Oman, the United States, and regional shipping companies."}}
