Ship traffic through Hormuz halved
The article reveals a decline in the movement of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, amid concerns over escalating tensions in the Middle East due to deadlocked talks between the United States and Iran. Yesterday, Thursday, only seven ships transited the Gulf, half the number recorded the previous day, with no giant oil tankers or liquefied natural gas carriers, aside from one large gas tanker carrying propane and butane traveling along the Iranian route. In the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, traffic decreased to 23 ships from 34 in the preceding two days, with two large oil tankers heading to Vietnam and India exiting the region. The increase in maritime activity is linked to regional tensions and their potential impact on the security of navigation in the area.
