Strait of Hormuz vessel transits fall to six ships, below 10-day average

Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz dropped to six vessels, well below the roughly 13-vessel 10-day average, according to tracking data reported alongside the Iranian strikes on Kuwait and UAE bases.

Why this matters. A fresh drop in Hormuz transits signals shippers are further pulling back from the corridor after the latest Iranian attacks, tightening the bottleneck for roughly a fifth of global oil and LNG trade.
