Japanese-Linked Vessels Effectively Complete Their Withdrawal　日本関係船舶、実質的な退避完了

Four Vessels Remain in the Gulf as 689 International Merchant Ships Continue to Linger

湾内残る4隻　国際商船689隻なお滞留

The withdrawal of Japanese-linked vessels that had remained stranded inside the Persian Gulf for an extended period has been effectively completed. On July 10, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Kaneko announced that a further 22 Japanese-linked vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz between July 7 and July 9, leaving only four Japanese-linked vessels remaining inside the Gulf.

Meanwhile, AXSMarine data show that although the number of merchant vessels detected by AIS in the Persian Gulf west of the Strait of Hormuz has declined by about 35%, 689 vessels still remain inside the Gulf, highlighting that it would be premature to conclude that the Hormuz crisis is fully over.

日本関係船舶、実質的な退避完了

湾内残る4隻　国際商船689隻なお滞留

　ペルシャ湾内に長期間取り残されていた日本関係船舶の退避が、実質的に完了した。金子国土交通相は10日、7日から9日にかけて新たに22隻がホルムズ海峡を通過し、湾内に残る日本関係船舶は4隻になったと明らかにした。

一方、AXSMarineによると、ホルムズ海峡以西のペルシャ湾内でAISにより検知される商船は約35％減少しているものの、依然、湾内には689隻が滞留しており、ホルムズ危機の完全終息といは言えないのが実態だ。
