LONG BEACH, Calif., March 2 (Reuters) - Container ships account for roughly 100 of the 750 ships backed up around the Strait of Hormuz following U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, Jeremy Nixon, CEO of container carrier Ocean Network Express (ONE), said on Monday.

“About 10% of the container ship global fleet is caught up in this,” Nixon said at a container shipping industry conference in Long Beach, California.

Maritime insurers ceased voyages through the strait between Iran and Oman, which carries around one-fifth of oil consumed globally as well as large quantities of gas, as Iran retaliated against U.S. and Israeli strikes.

LONG BEACH, California, 2 marzo (Reuters) - Le navi portacontainer rappresentano circa 100 delle 750 navi bloccate intorno allo Stretto di Hormuz in seguito agli attacchi statunitensi e israeliani contro l’Iran, ha dichiarato lunedì Jeremy Nixon, amministratore delegato della compagnia di trasporto container Ocean Network Express (ONE).

Gli assicuratori marittimi hanno interrotto i viaggi attraverso lo stretto tra l’Iran e l’Oman, che trasporta circa un quinto del petrolio consumato a livello globale e grandi quantità di gas, a causa delle ritorsioni dell’Iran contro gli attacchi statunitensi e israeliani.
