French shipping company CMA CGM hopes the shipping situation in the Strait of Hormuz will improve in the coming days but expects a return to normal to take several months, its chairman and CEO Rodolphe Saade tells the French business daily Les Echos, according to Al Jazeera.

The group has had several vessels stuck inside the Gulf since the US-Israel war on Iran began at the end of February, Saade says during the interview.
