Summary
JMIC said ships can transit the Strait of Hormuz via the southern route day or night while keeping transponder signals switched on.
Vessels using that route do not need to coordinate with the US naval support unit, though the center encouraged contact with American Naval Cooperation and Guidance for Shipping.
The advisory offers operational guidance for commercial traffic through one of the world's most sensitive maritime chokepoints.
