The Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) has acknowledged that there are currently no confirmed threats to maritime traffic. However, they may reconsider this stance if specific scenarios arise. These include the use of ballistic or cruise missiles near key maritime chokepoints, attacks on western-aligned commercial vessels, or the expansion of regional conflicts that could impact coastal, offshore, or port infrastructure.
Given these potential risks, owners and charterers are strongly encouraged to conduct comprehensive threat and risk assessments before entering the Arabian Gulf.
It is essential for maritime operators to be proactive in identifying potential threats and implementing necessary security measures.
By taking these precautions, stakeholders can better safeguard their vessels and assets while navigating the complexities of the region.
