  "summary": "Shipping traffic at the Strait of Hormuz has decreased, with four commodity vessel transits recorded on Monday, down from ten the previous day, according to Kpler data.\n\nHowever, according to TankerTrackers.com, very large crude carriers are moving through the Strait of Hormuz in both directions and during daylight hours. The firm also reported increased volumes of crude oil, liquefied natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas being transferred between vessels through ship-to-ship operations in the Gulf of Oman.\n\nThe developments reflect an effort to keep Gulf cargoes moving despite ongoing military and security risks in the region.",
