لا تزال شركة A.P. Møller – Mærsk تمتلك سبع سفن عالقة في الخليج العربي، في ظل التطورات المرتبطة بالهجوم الذي تشنه الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل على إيران، وما تبعه من إجراءات في مضيق هرمز، حيث أفادت شركة إيه بي مولر – ميرسك A.P. Møller – Mærsk لقناة TV 2 أن الحصار الأمريكي لمضيق هرمز لم يغير شيئاً في وضعها، حيث لا تزال سبع من سفنها عالقة في الخليج العربي.
وأشارت الشركة إلى بيان أصدرته يوم الأربعاء من الأسبوع الماضي، أكدت فيه أنها تتبع “نهجاً حذراً” في التعامل مع الوضع في الخليج.
Clarification regarding the number of ships in the area
The company had previously announced that it had ten ships in the Arabian Gulf as a result of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, but this number included three ships that were carrying a number of Maersk containers on board.
The company's stance on Iranian ports
Maersk stated that it does not usually dock at Iranian ports, and had not done so even before the start of the US-Israeli attack on Iran at the end of February.
The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz applies only to shipping to and from Iranian ports.
Maritime organization: There is no legal basis for the blockade
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has confirmed that no country – including the United States – is allowed to obstruct navigation in straits used by international shipping.
وقال الأمين العام للمنظمة Arsenio Dominguez في تصريح لإذاعة BBC Radio 4 إن ما يحدث يمثل “سابقة خطيرة”.
وأضاف: “أتفهم وجود نزاع قائم هناك، ولكن لا يوجد حتى الآن أساس قانوني في القانون الدولي لاتخاذ تدابير لإغلاق المضائق المستخدمة للشحن الدولي”.
Expectations of a significant drop in oil demand
In a related context, developments related to the attack on Iran have led the International Energy Agency to make a significant change in its forecasts regarding global oil demand, according to its monthly report issued on Tuesday.
The organization expects the second quarter of 2026 to see the largest quarterly drop in oil demand since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Consumption declined in several regions
The organization noted that consumption of petroleum products has declined mainly in the Middle East and Asia, with expectations that this decline will extend to other regions as oil prices continue to rise.
