After nearly seven weeks of closure due to conflict between Iran and the US, the critical Strait of Hormuz has reopened to maritime traffic.
The Malta-flagged cruise ship Celestyal Discovery became the first passenger vessel to transit the strait, sailing without passengers toward Oman. This marks the end of a 47-day period during which multiple cruise ships were stranded in the Persian Gulf, unable to leave due to security concerns. The reopening follows a ceasefire and diplomatic announcements from both Iran and the US, signaling a cautious return to normalcy for commercial shipping in the region.
More ships are now moving through the strait, indicating a broader resumption of maritime activity.
