Oman, in collaboration with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), has established temporary maritime corridors through the Strait of Hormuz to facilitate the movement of commercial vessels and over 11,000 seafarers stranded in the Persian Gulf. This decision comes in response to safety concerns regarding the existing navigation routes, which are now deemed unsafe for maritime traffic.

The temporary corridors aim to allow for the gradual and controlled evacuation of ships, employing two designated pathways. Reports indicate that Iran will play an active role in overseeing the northern route according to the planned operation. The creation of these corridors is intended to mitigate risks and ensure safe passage for vessels within this strategically critical waterway, following the signing of an agreement related to this initiative.
