Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains minimal even after the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire
Strait of Hormuz Shipping Stays Disrupted Despite US-Iran Ceasefire
Maritime activity in the Strait of Hormuz continues to be severely limited, even after the United States and Iran agreed to a temporary ceasefire. Hopes for a swift end to one of the most significant global energy supply interruptions remain low. Ship tracking reports reveal that since the announcement of a two-week halt in hostilities on Tuesday, only a small number of vessels have managed to pass through this vital waterway.
Data from the market intelligence provider Kpler shows that just five ships made the crossing on Wednesday, a sharp decrease from the eleven recorded the previous day. On Thursday, seven vessels were able to transit the strait. Meanwhile, over 600 ships—including 325 oil tankers—are still waiting, unable to proceed through the congested passage.
