Maersk says 10 ships are stranded in the Persian Gulf, and it will take at least a week to restore shipping capacity.

Golden Ten Data reported on March 11 that, according to The Wall Street Journal, Vincent Clerc, CEO of Danish container shipping giant Maersk, stated that the company currently has 10 ships trapped in the Persian Gulf. If a ceasefire is achieved, it will take at least one week to 10 days to resume normal operations. Brokers say that more than 100 container ships are currently stranded in the Gulf region. Ship fuel inventories at some Asian ports are declining, and oil supply issues may restrict the docking of container ships. "The longer the strait remains closed, the harder it will be for Asia to replenish oil inventories," Clerc said. If Maersk cannot obtain fuel in Asia, it will have to charter tankers to transport fuel, and the additional costs will be reflected in higher freight rates. The daily charter rate for ultra-large tankers is currently near a historic high, exceeding $400,000.
