Hormuz transits fall by more than half in a week

Shipping analytics firm Kpler said crossings through the Strait of Hormuz dropped by more than half from the previous week, with 57 transits recorded Friday through Sunday versus roughly 130 vessels a day before the war began in late February.

Why this matters. The transit count is the clearest physical measure that the strait remains effectively closed to normal commerce regardless of what either side claims diplomatically.
