Five vessels transited the Hormuz Strait on Monday, according to preliminary ship-tracking data from Kpler, with four entering and one exiting the waterway. One of the vessels that entered was an empty handy-sized gas tanker.
The number of vessels transiting the strait remains below average, although US President Donald Trump claimed that the strait was "in extremely good shape" with an average of 30 ships passing through each night with US naval assistance.
There has been recent tension in the region, with the US and Iran exchanging fire in the strait, and Iran targeting US military bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates in response, according to People Daily Kenya and PBS NewsHour.
