Hormuz crossings edge up but remain in single digits
Six commodity ships transited the strait on Monday, three in each direction, compared with a 10-day average of 11.
The Strait of Hormuz saw a mere single-digit number of ship crossings on Monday, with only six commodity vessels passing through, according to initial shipping data released on Tuesday. The figure marked a slight increase from the weekend's count, but still remained far below the 11-ship average over the preceding 10-day period, as reported by Kpler shiptracking data.
The six vessels comprised three crossing into the Gulf and three entering it. No very large crude carriers or liquefied natural gas tankers were observed making the journey, though one such VLGC did enter under ballast, empty of cargo. Additionally, a medium-range fuel tanker and an intermediate-range tanker made their way into the Gulf, alongside a medium-sized LPG carrier, a Panamax bulk carrier, and a Panamax-sized fuel tanker exiting the Gulf.
