Worsening the situation in the Middle East is a serious complicated shipping to the Gulf of Persia.

Shipping to the Gulf of Persia is in a crisis situation after Iran’s threats to hinder the narrow of the Ormuzian Strait: a traffic of nearly a thousand vessels formed, increased GPS errors, which increased the risks of collision. About this writes S&P Global on Monday, June 23.

Shipment companies report uninterrupted traffic jams in the Gulf of Persian caused by GPS. As such, the owners of the courts limit the movement of the day, reducing the average 24-hour window to 16-18 hours.

It has been mentioned that led to the accumulation of nearly 1000 vessels waiting for transit through the Ormuz Strait -an important energy route, of which nearly 20 million crude oil barrels and 11 billion cubic feet of liquid natural gas day -day.

Leaders of shipping companies also report difficulties in maintaining communication with staff due to ongoing jamming GPS, which complicates navigation and increases the risks of quarrels. The threat also comes from sea mines even without a complete narrow overlap.

Establishment was caused by the threats of Iran’s parliament to close the Strait of the Strait after the US aircraft for Iran’s nuclear facilities. The final decision on this issue will be made by the Iranian National Security Council. Earlier, Iran repeatedly threatened to hinder the narrow, but it did not reach real actions.

Strait of Ormuz is a critical artery of trade in the world. About 20% of global oil and gas supply passes through it. The main oil exporters through this route are OPEC countries: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

The narrow is just about 40 km in the widest place, and shipping channels are still, making it especially vulnerable to blocking.

Qatar, one of the leading suppliers of the LNG world, sends almost full volume of liquid gas through the narrow. The fifth US Navy, based in Bahrain, is responsible for safety in this area.

Remember that the United States said Iran could find a strict reaction of the international community in the event of an overlap of the Horde Strait.
