        "summary": "Indonesia continues diplomatic discussions with Iran to secure the release of two Pertamina tankers stranded in the Arabian Gulf due to regional military tensions. Progress remains slow, complicated by volatile security conditions, bureaucratic friction within Iran, and the refusal of international insurers to cover vessels entering high-risk areas. The government emphasises that any evacuation decision must align multiple factors, including naval security assessments and insurance requirements, beyond simply obtaining state guarantees.",
        "content": "<p>The two vessels\u2014the Pertamina Pride and the Gamsunoro, both operated\nby PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS)\u2014have been trapped in the\nArabian Gulf following Iran\u2019s abrupt closure of the strategic chokepoint\namid escalating military hostilities with the US and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in contact with government authorities, and discussions with\nthe Iranian government are continuing,\u201d Havas told reporters at the\nParliament Complex.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the progress of the evacuation and shipping efforts\nis heavily dependent on the volatile security situation on the strategic\nwaterway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the political situation heats up and escalates, we will have to\nwait and see\u2014we will be forced to,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the geopolitical crossfire, Havas revealed that maritime\ninsurance has emerged as a major obstacle, as many international\ninsurers are reluctant to cover vessels operating in the area because of\nheightened security risks.<\/p>\n<p>While insurance companies are still willing to provide coverage when\na vessel is anchored in a relatively safe location, they strictly refuse\nto extend coverage once the ship enters areas deemed dangerous, he\nnoted.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to insurance hurdles, Havas pointed out that any shipping\ndecisions also depend heavily on the captain\u2019s assessment of\nnavigational and security conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many elements that must be aligned. So it is not just\nabout guarantees from state authorities; everything must be aligned,\u201d he\nemphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Discussions regarding the two vessels have been ongoing since late\nApril, with Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono previously noting that\nbureaucratic friction within Iran has severely bogged down a\nresolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes, the policy from above cannot be immediately implemented\non the ground,\u201d Foreign Minister Sugiono remarked during an earlier\nbrief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is what we are currently seeking to find a solution to,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Two Pertamina tankers remain stuck amid renewed Hormuz\ncurbs<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Pertamina continues efforts to secure tankers passage\nthrough Hormuz<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Nabil Ihsan, Yashinta Difa<\/p>",
