Mahigit 130 barko ng lamanan mula sa Pilipinas nakulong sa Strait of Hormuz

Nakulong ang mahigit 130 barko ng lamanan na may kaugnayan sa Pilipinas sa Strait of Hormuz dahil sa nagpapatuloy na salungatan sa Gitnang Silangan, na nagdudulot ng paninikip sa daloy ng mga kalakal, ayon sa mga tagapagtanggol ng pagpapadala. Ibinahagi ni Patrick Ronas, pangulo ng Association of International Shipping Lines, ang isyung ito sa pagdinig ng Senado.

Nagbigkas si Patrick Ronas, pangulo ng Association of International Shipping Lines (ASIL) na binubuo ng 36 miyembro, sa pagdinig ng panel sa agrikultura ng Senado noong Miyerkules, Abril 8. Ayon sa kanya, mahigit 130 barko ng lamanan ang nakulong sa Strait of Hormuz, na may kaunti lamang ang nakakaalis. Kasama rin dito ang mga barko ng pangkalahatang karga at ilang tanker na kailangang maghanap ng paraan para makalabas.

Ipinaliwanag ni Ronas na sa isang pagpupulong sa Department of Trade and Industry, ipinarating ng ASIL ang pag-aalala na hindi na makakarating ang mga produktong ipinapadala mula sa Pilipinas sa mga destinasyon nito. Karaniwang inilalabas ang mga lamanan ng mga barkong may Philippine exports sa Khor Fakkan, United Arab Emirates, bago ang Strait of Hormuz, at kailangan nang i-truck sa mga huling destinasyon.

"Because of the vessels being trapped in the strait, a diversion of services is being done, reassessment of the network is also being done, as well as containers being offloaded to other ports," aniya.

Ayon naman sa Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), apat lamang ang Philippine-flagged ships na nasa 'danger zone' ng salungatan sa Gitnang Silangan. Sinabi ni MARINA spokesman Lui delos Santos na hindi nangangahulugang nasa Strait of Hormuz ang mga ito, ngunit ang pinakamahusay na ruta pabalik ay sa pamamagitan nito. Pinayagan na rin ng gobyerno ng Iran ang dalawang barkong Pilipino na dumaan: isang tanker patungong India at isang bulk carrier patungong China.
