The International Maritime Organization’s Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez firmly rejected proposals to impose tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz during its sixth week of closure. Over 20,000 seafarers remain stranded in and around the strait, exacerbating global shipping disruptions amid stalled negotiations to reopen the critical oil chokepoint. Dominguez addressed the crisis in a Bloomberg interview, emphasizing diplomatic efforts to resolve the blockade but offering no timeline for reopening the waterway. The closure has triggered record oil futures losses, with March’s US CPI surge linked to spiking gas prices amid regional conflicts disrupting supply chains. Broader economic fallout includes plummeting consumer sentiment and financial sector concerns, as inflation pressures mount from prolonged maritime trade halts.
