Only five ships pass through Strait of Hormuz in 24 hours
Shipping data showed traffic fell to a fraction of normal levels after Iran seized two container ships and the U.S. maintained a naval blockade.
- Only five ships transited the Strait of Hormuz in a 24-hour period—far below the typical ~140 daily crossings before the conflict—indicating a near standstill in one of the world’s key energy routes.
- The decline is linked to escalating risks, including Iran’s recent seizure of vessels and an ongoing U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, leaving shipping companies unwilling to transit without stronger safety guarantees despite a fragile ceasefire.
- The disruption affects a route that carries roughly one-fifth of global oil and gas supplies, stranding ships and crews and contributing to broader uncertainty in energy markets and international shipping.
