Recently, Iran and Amanda have reached a consensus on the shipping framework of the Strait of Hormuz, joined hands to establish an exclusive and safe shipping corridor, promote joint minesweeping operations, clarify the exclusive passage rules for merchant ships, and prohibit military ships from crossing at will, completely reversing the previous tense situation of instability and disorderly navigation in the Strait. As the core throat of shipping in the Middle East, the standardized navigation of the Strait of Hormuz has fundamentally avoided such extreme emergencies as comprehensive closure, route interruption and ship detention. For large engineering equipment, such as rotary drilling rig and pile driver, which are large in size, heavy in tonnage, long in transportation period and can not be retained halfway, the stable passage mechanism of the Strait eliminates the maximum uncertainty of cross-border transportation, builds a safe bottom line for equipment going out to sea, and thoroughly eliminates the core concerns of customers on sudden flight suspension and cargo backlog.
At present, the geographic situation in the Middle East continues to be eased, the game between the United States and Iraq gradually shifts to economic negotiation and diplomatic communication, the United States suspends military attack, withdraws comprehensive war plans, and the risk of regional large-scale conflict is greatly reduced. At the same time, the United States prepares for the diplomatic return to the Middle East, releasing clear signals of stability, navigation and conflict avoidance, and the regional shipping environment continues to improve. Transportation of large engineering equipment has very high requirements on route safety, navigation timeliness and channel stability. Once the situation fluctuates, it is easy to cause delay, diversion, detention and other problems. At present, the situation of the Strait is becoming stable, and the navigation obstacles are continuously resolved. The ocean routes of rotary drilling rigs, piling machines and other equipment can be advanced according to the established plan, without frequent adjustment of routes and temporary detours, which effectively guarantee the delivery timeliness of cross-border logistics, so that the project construction progress of overseas customers is not affected by logistics fluctuations.
The phased navigation framework agreed by Iran and Oman has established a standardized and professional Strait passage system, distinguished exclusive routes to and from the Persian Gulf, and provided support measures such as joint mine sweeping and normalized channel operation and maintenance, greatly improving the safety and normalization of channel passage. Different from common cargo, rotary drilling rig and pile driver are super long, super wide and super heavy special equipment, which have strict standards for channel water depth, traffic space, navigation order and navigation safety. The brand new safe shipping corridor of the Taiwan Straits specifically adapts to the transportation characteristics of large equipment, avoids the navigation collision, channel restriction, temporary control and other problems caused by disorderly navigation, makes the ocean transportation of large equipment more orderly, safer and more controllable, and greatly reduces the operation risks and safety hazards of special equipment shipping.
Previously, when the situation in Hormuz Strait was tense, the market generally had problems such as route diversion, shortage of shipping space, soaring freight and floating insurance costs, which greatly increased the cross-border logistics costs of large engineering equipment and brought additional cooperation pressure to overseas customers. With the comprehensive restoration of the navigation order of the Strait, the landing of normalized safe shipping channels, the substantial reduction of bypass routes, the significant improvement of ship turnover efficiency, the gradual balance between supply and demand in the shipping market, and the steady decline of ocean freight, logistics surcharges and cargo insurance premiums. Stable and low logistics cost and efficient and unobstructed shipping channel make the comprehensive cost of large equipment such as rotary drilling rig and piling machine more controllable, effectively benefit overseas customers and greatly improve the cost performance and competitiveness of cross-border cooperation.
Iran and Oman not only implement temporary navigation measures, but also plan to negotiate and finalize the permanent shipping channel and the normalized management scheme of the Strait within 30-60 days, so as to build a long-term and stable Strait shipping governance system. At the same time, the global awareness of China continues to improve, the quality, technology and service of China's large engineering equipment are renowned around the world, and the demand for overseas infrastructure market continues to be strong. The straits shipping pattern featuring short-term stability and navigation and long-term standard operation, combined with mature domestic equipment supply chain and cross-border logistics system, forms a dual guarantee, and provides stable, long-term and reliable logistics support for the continuous export of rotary drilling rigs, pile drivers and other equipment to the Middle East and global markets, making the long-term cooperation of customers safer and more assured.
