'The situation in the waters of the Gulf and in the region of the Strait of Hormuz changes from hour to hour." He underlines this in a Today's note Intercargo, the international association that represents the dry bulk shipping industry. However, if by region Intercargo means, as it seems, that The situation in the Arabian Gulf and in Hormuz was not appears to change from hour to hour at all since ship traffic In the region it is always at a standstill. This, despite the fact that they are attacks on ships in the area have ceased, with the last Incident reported in the region dating back to Tuesday just before the announcement of a temporary truce of two weeks of the conflict between the United States and Iran.

Intercargo specifies that it has kept its members Keep up to date with the latest developments, including the results of the latest meetings of the offices of the navies, while by the members Expressions of concern about uncertainty have been received of the situation and the safety of crews and ships. Fears that, it is presumed, Intercargo will not have been able to answer with certain information nor, meanwhile, with reassurances, given that the association itself announces that it has advised members to consult the websites of the Joint Maritime Information Center, of the Maritime Security Center Indian Ocean and the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations for alerts and other timely information. Alerts and timely information that, However, these military operations centers do not provide from the announcement of the truce.

The real question is: how much time will elapse between the hoped-for evacuation of ships and crews from the region and their subsequent return to the area of the Arabian Gulf and Hormuz?
