Even if Hormuz opens, delays will last for months, experts warn
The Strait of Hormuz situation is complex. Even if it opens fully, shipping won't be normal until September. Clearing sea mines could take up to 6 months. Iran has near complete control right now, allowing passage only with permission, and ships are being seized. A phased recovery is expected: tankers and dry bulk carriers by July, container ships by August, and expensive LNG carriers not until September. The real test will be when ships voluntarily start re-entering the strait.
