Hormuz Trade Drops 85 Percent After Closure
The article focused on the situation of the Strait of Hormuz six months after the start of the war in the Middle East. The strait remains largely closed, and the movement of oil and natural gas tankers has been significantly affected. Iran had closed the strait in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes in February, leading to a halt in most transit operations, with the daily average of vessel crossings dropping from 95 to about 10. Some operations were temporarily resumed following a memorandum of understanding in June, but activity has declined again amid ongoing tensions. Ships are now using two different routes, one of which is far from the traditional passage, and approximately two-thirds of crossings are now "unscripted," posing a threat to maritime safety. Additionally, around 6,000 sailors remain stranded in the region, amidst international efforts to find a safe passage and reduce ambiguities, as risks and attacks continue, resulting in the death of at least 20 sailors over the past six months.
