Many insurers have also withdrawn coverage for tankers in the region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the end, it&#8217;s all about perception, because our first priority is the protection of human life and our seafarers,&#8221; Jerry Kalogiratos, CEO of Capital Clean Energy Carriers, a shipping company based in Greece, told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>When will tankers return to the strait?<\/h2>\n<p>Kalogiratos said he is looking for clear signals that the Strait of Hormuz is safe for marine traffic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s say there is a ceasefire overnight, and Iran says it&#8217;s safe. Then our ships would be the first to make the transit,&#8221; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Kalogiratos is also keeping a close eye on the handful of ships that are crossing the waterway to see if they avoid attacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A succession of safe crossings of the strait would encourage more ships to sail, according to Vikas Dwivedi, energy strategist at Macquarie Group, a financial services firm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;d need more than just one or two for a couple of days \u2014 you would want to see it building,&#8221; he told CBS News. &#8220;You want corroboration that there are no tricks being played and that ships leaving the Strait of Hormuz are arriving at destination ports.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, Kalogiratos takes less comfort from the White House&#8217;s\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-dfc-persian-gulf-ship-insurance-iran-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">offer to insure ships<\/a><\/span>\u00a0traveling through the Persian Gulf. The Trump administration has also offered U.S. Navy escorts to protect ships from attack when navigating the channel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to feel confident that the lives of our partners aboard our vessels are safe,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking for de-escalation<\/h2>\n<p>Michael Ryan, head of freight at market intelligence provider Sparta Commodities, told CBS News that shipping companies would have to see a sustained reduction in military threat from Iran to start sailing again. That would encourage insurers to re-enter the region and bring premiums down to a manageable level, mitigating the financial risks of braving the waterway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For now, achieving that level of security seems improbable. On Thursday, newly appointed Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said in a statement that the\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-war-new-supreme-leader-mojtaba-khamenei-first-statement-strait-of-hormuz\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">strait must remain shut<\/a><\/span>, according to state-run media.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Until that threat is credibly lifted, either through a ceasefire or a negotiated arrangement, commercial operators of the vessels won&#8217;t return in meaningful numbers,&#8221; Ryan told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How will we know ships are sailing?<\/h2>\n<p>Such vessels are equipped with Automated Identification System (AIS) trackers that allow their locations to be detected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While tracking systems are normally activated, some ships have deactivated their AIS in an effort to pass through the strait undetected, Nikos Pothitakis, a spokesperson for Kpler, which owns MarineTraffic, told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The usual flow of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is currently\u00a0nonexistent, according to MarineTraffic, which monitors factors including a vessel&#8217;s location, load size and speed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Normally, you would see all of these little dots of triangles moving fluidly around the strait,&#8221; Ryan said. &#8220;Right now, there are loads of tankers clustered together on either side of the strait, where they are sitting anchored.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alain-sherter\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alain  Sherter<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/strait-of-hormuz-iran-war-oil-gas-prices-persian-gulf\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before the\u00a0U.S. and Israel attacked Iran\u00a0on February 28, an average of 100 vessels per day would safely traverse the\u00a0Strait of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":69944,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1528,1057,3544,6344],"class_list":["post-69943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-iran","tag-oil-and-gas","tag-oil-imports","tag-strait-of-hormuz"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What will it take for ships to start sailing through the Strait of Hormuz again? - World News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Energy prices won&amp;#039;t ease up until the Strait of Hormuz is secure, experts say.
