Strait of Hormuz Reopens, Shipping Recovery Slow

Following weeks of disruption, a ceasefire has eased tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to its reopening. However, the global shipping system faces a prolonged recovery period. Significant backlogs, damage to infrastructure, and delays in supply chains mean that normal operations will not resume immediately. The full restoration of shipping services is expected to take several months, indicating the lasting impact of the recent disruptions on international trade and logistics.
