    Singapore-flagged container ship Ever Lovely struck by projectile crossing Strait of Hormuz

    UKMTO reported the Singapore-flagged container ship Ever Lovely hit by an 'unknown projectile' on its starboard side about 7.5nm southeast of Dahit, Oman while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, damaging the bridge; the master reported no casualties or pollution. No group claimed responsibility and the weapon was unconfirmed (one maritime-security source assessed a likely drone); attribution is not established. The strike — corroborated by UKMTO, gCaptain, SCMP and BBC — ends roughly a week of relative calm and came hours after the IRGC renewed radio warnings that vessels need Iranian permission

    Iran's military declares Strait of Hormuz re-closure; US and UKMTO say unverified

    Iran's joint military command declared the Strait of Hormuz closed in response to alleged ceasefire violations. Authorities assess this as strategic messaging rather than an operational closure: JMIC Advisory 009-26 (18 Jun) rates the Regional Threat Level 'Moderate' (down from Substantial/Severe) and judges the strait open, with no independent confirmation of a physical closure or new vessel attacks; the U.S. (CENTCOM/Energy Secretary) reports dozens of ships still transiting via the southern Omani route. Even so, trade press (The Maritime Executive) reports Hormuz traffic dropping sharply as

    JMIC confirms mine in Strait of Hormuz; main shipping lanes to be avoided

    The Combined Maritime Forces' Joint Maritime Information Center confirmed at least one mine near the recommended southern transit route and advised vessels to avoid the main ITSS lanes while the southern Omani-coast route is confirmed clear. Active mine-clearance is ongoing; Intertanko reports roughly 80 mines still to be cleared from the main channel. The strait is open but mine risk persists despite the mid-June de-escalation.

    Iran imposes mandatory PGSA permit and 'Hull War Voyage Insurance' for Hormuz transit

    Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority introduced mandatory pre-registration, a PGSA passage permit, and PGSA-approved 'Hull War Voyage Insurance' as conditions for transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The insurance is free during a ~60-day window expiring around 17 Aug 2026; thereafter PGSA-only coverage — itself sanctioned — could make Western commercial transit categorically impossible without sanctions relief. Shipowners should verify any PGSA contact against their flag state and P&I club and must not pay cryptocurrency demands.
