Ship passage through Hormuz up 400%

The Strait of Hormuz has experienced a significant increase in the number of passing ships, with a nearly 400% rise over the past week, involving the transit of around 192 ships. This is considerably less than the pre-war average, which was about 200 ships per week. Currently, the strait remains a pivotal point in the Iran-U.S. conflict, as the U.S. Navy has begun to bolster its presence while Iran is losing control over it — especially after more than 80% of liquid shipments have shifted through the Omani route, which Iran strongly opposes. Data indicates that the Omani route has become the preferred choice for vessels seeking to avoid Iranian fees, while some analyses suggest that Iran has partially lost control over the strait.
