The International Maritime Organization (IMO), in cooperation with multiple countries, has ensured that ships can once again safely sail through the Strait of Hormuz after months of being idled. In a statement, the IMO said necessary measures have been taken to guarantee maritime safety in this strategically crucial region. The exact number of vessels affected or the reasons for the prolonged idleness were not disclosed.
