Senior business producerEarly indications are that commercial ships in and around the Gulf won’t be in any rush to travel through the Strait of Hormuz, despite the Iranian foreign minister’s declaration that it is “completely open”.

Another company, Stena Bulk, which operates oil tankers in the region says it is “monitoring developments closely.”
