FRANKFURT, April 17 (Reuters) - Hapag-Lloyd's HLAG.DE crisis committee is currently in session following comments by Iran's foreign minister saying the Strait of Hormuz had been opened following a ceasefire agreement, a spokesman for the shipping group said on Friday.

"Probably we will pass soon," the spokesperson said, adding that it was too early to confirm this.

Maersk MAERSKb.CO and CMA CGM were not immediately available for comment.
