Ship traffic through Strait of Hormuz drops
Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has seen a significant decline. Yesterday, seven ships transited the Strait of Hormuz—half the number recorded the previous day—including one massive gas carrier transporting propane and butane, with no supertankers or liquefied natural gas carriers present. In the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a total of 23 ships crossed, down from 34 over the previous two days, with 16 entering and 7 exiting, including medium-sized oil tankers heading to Vietnam and India. This slowdown occurs amid concerns about the stability of navigation in the region due to deadlock in talks between the United States and Iran.
