NORDEN: All Seven Chartered Vessels Clear the Strait of Hormuz　ノルデン、用船船7隻すべてがホルムズ海峡を通過

Operator Leads Crisis Response as Months-long Safety-focused Operational Effort Concludes

オペレーターとして危機対応を主導、安全最優先で数カ月の運航対応が完了

　Danish shipping company NORDEN has announced that all seven chartered vessels that had remained inside the Persian Gulf have now safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz. Following several months of heightened tensions in the Middle East, the final two vessels have departed the Gulf, completing the withdrawal of the entire fleet from the region.

　The key significance of this development is that NORDEN led the crisis response in its role as an operator managing chartered vessels, rather than as the owner of the ships.

NORDEN、用船船7隻すべてがホルムズ海峡を通過

オペレーターとして危機対応を主導、安全最優先で数カ月の運航対応が完了

　デンマークの海運大手NORDENは、ペルシャ湾内に滞留していた用船船7隻すべてが安全にホルムズ海峡を通過したと発表した。数カ月に及んだ中東情勢の緊迫化を経て、最後の2隻がペルシャ湾を離脱し、全船が同海域を脱出した。

　今回注目されるのは、NORDENが自社保有船ではなく、用船船を運航するオペレーターとして危機対応を主導した点だ。
