Ships Can Use Hormuz Southern Route With Signals On, JMIC Says

Ships can transit the Strait of Hormuz via the southern route day or night with transponder signals on, according to a key naval information group. The update is operationally constructive for shipping safety and route continuity, but it remains a factual navigation advisory rather than a major policy or market event. Market impact is limited unless the guidance signals broader escalation or disruption in the waterway.
