Strait of Hormuz

Only six commodity vessels, two very large gas carriers and four tankers, transited the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, Sept. 2, down from 11 the day before and below a 10-day average of about 13, according to Kpler data cited by Reuters. Counts can rise later because some ships switch off their transponders.

Why it matters

Lloyd's List Intelligence data cited by CBS shows traffic far below the 130-plus daily transits before the war, although tankers still move oil along a U.S.-guided southern route near Oman.
