Hormoz traffic drops amid Iran-US tensions
Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has decreased this week following Iran's warnings of retaliating against any new US attacks, with the number of passing ships dropping from 8 to 7 vessels per day, according to Kpler data. Meanwhile, the Strait of Bab al-Mandab experienced an increase in the number of passing ships, reaching 29 vessels, with some likely turning off their transmitters and receivers to avoid targeting. These events occur amid Iranian warnings that energy infrastructure in the Gulf could be at risk, with expectations of ongoing disruptions to shipping movements in the region until next year, which could impact global oil prices.
