Shorter routes might be especially prioritized at the beginning \u2014 cutting voyage times and lifting vessel productivity before longer-haul reconfiguration happens, she adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Premiums could start falling within day<\/strong><strong>s of a stable security environment<\/strong>, but don\u2019t expect everything to normalize at once.

Freight rates have already been elevated: The Platts VLCC benchmark stood at USD 278.7k per day by the end of May, more than double the USD 75.9k per day average since the index launched in March 2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What shipping agencies and port operators will need t<\/strong><strong>o do is coordinate a managed trickle back into the market, not a flood <\/strong>\u2014 whether by adjusting service frequencies, rationalizing port calls, or potentially keeping some of the network changes introduced during the disruption.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Tankers are likely to move first; container lines last. <\/strong>Energy trades are concentrated around the region and benefit directly from shorter transits \u2014 so tankers have the clearest commercial incentive to return quickly. Container lines face a more complex calculation: any routing change ripples through global service networks and schedule reliability across multiple trades, Teodoro says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 500 ships are waiting to exit the Gulf through the Strait of
