Qatar’s Ministry of Transport announced on Sunday, April 12, the full restoration of maritime movement for all vessels in its territorial waters following the month-long blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. According to a statement on X, navigation is currently permitted between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. local time, though licensed fishing vessels are allowed to operate throughout the day. Qatari tankers have been unable to transit the strait for over a month due to the intense conflict in Iran. JOIN US
