Kpler: Tanker Traffic in Strait of Hormuz Drops to May 7 Low
Kpler data shows that the number of tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz dropped to just one vessel on July 23, which is the lowest level since May 7, with no ships entering the strait on Thursday. Meanwhile, the number of tankers transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait increased to 32, higher than the previous day, as some vessels headed towards the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Additionally, a tanker transported oil shipments through the Suez Canal instead of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, potentially lengthening the journey. Saudi Aramco also dispatched additional oil shipments from the Sidi Kerir port in Egypt rather than through Red Sea ports, amid ongoing maritime tensions in the Gulf region.
