The Strait of Hormuz witnessed a sharp decline in vessel transits, falling to a single-digit figure of nine on Thursday, according to preliminary ship tracking data. This represents a significant drop from the previous day's 14 vessel transits and an overall decrease from the 10-day average of approximately 18. The reduction in transits was attributed to several vessels exiting the waterway, including a ballast very large gas carrier, a laden very large crude carrier (VLCC), and various types of tankers.
Conversely, one dry bulk handymax carrier entered the strait. However, the figures are preliminary and subject to change as some vessels may be sailing through the waterways with their transponders turned off.
