Organization: Reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not difficult, but the full recovery of oil flow may take several years

BlockBeats News, April 20th - An analyst stated that the intermittent shipping in the Strait of Hormuz highlighted the uncertain status of this globally important chokepoint for oil and gas. However, one thing is clear: even if the conflict subsides, the oil flow through this narrow waterway will take months—possibly years—to return to pre-war levels.

The analyst believes that the speed of recovery depends not only on diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran, but also on logistical conditions, the availability of tanker insurance, freight levels, and whether shipowners are willing to risk passage. It is expected that the global tanker fleet's comprehensive rebalancing and the resumption of Gulf loading operations to pre-war pace will be uneven, and even under favorable conditions, it may take at least eight to twelve weeks.
