Background
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow and strategically important international shipping chokepoint connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea. Security incidents involving merchant vessels in this area have occurred in recent years, sometimes requiring nearby ships to assist or report suspicious activity. Mariners should be aware that vessels anchored after an incident may be subject to boarding, security operations or need assistance, and authorities may respond from nearby ports or maritime security forces.
