closures at the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a super-spreader event of invasive species as marine organisms attach to the idle vessels and get transported to other ecosystems around the world

This is an intrinsic problem with international shipping, not anything particular about the straight. What a dumb article.

Seems to me its saying that it increases the chance because the ships have more time to have something attach.
