Hormuz shipping traffic falls to single digits, data shows
Preliminary tracking data show the chokepoint handled just 7 vessels, as regional attacks and a Saudi pipeline shutdown kept flows well below normal.
- Preliminary shiptracking data released Monday shows commodity vessel transits through the Strait fell to single digits per day over the weekend, well below the 10-day average of 14.
- Before the Iran war began on February 28, the Strait typically handled about 125 large commercial vessels daily, accounting for 20% of the world's daily crude oil and liquefied natural gas supply.
- Over the weekend, 4 vessels exited the Gulf while 10 entered; the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported early Sunday that a vessel was struck by an unknown projectile.
- Saudi officials reported the East-West oil pipeline was temporarily shut down following a drone attack from Iraq, while a U.S. blockade of Iran-related shipping has halted Iranian crude oil exports since mid-July.
- In the Bab strait, 24 and 27 commodity vessels travelled through on Saturday and Sunday respectively, though figures exclude vessels with Automatic Identification System transponders turned off.
