Approximately 1,150 commercial ships remain blocked in the Persian Gulf despite a framework agreement between the United States and Iran aimed at ending the conflict in the Middle East. This analysis, highlighted by the German insurance company Allianz, points to significant disruptions in maritime trade within the region.

The blocked vessels include a variety of ship types and represent a cargo value estimated at around $125 billion. The situation indicates ongoing risks in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global shipping. Experts suggest that even if conditions were to normalize swiftly, it would take several weeks to facilitate the departure of the grounded ships.

The continued blockade has raised concerns about international shipping routes and the economic implications for trade in the region. While the framework agreement was intended to provide a path toward de-escalation, the current status of the vessels highlights challenges in implementing lasting solutions to the geopolitical tensions affecting Gulf waters.
