Event details
Kpler counted 95 confirmed Strait of Hormuz crossings in the prior week, down 19.5 percent, with only three on Sunday. It said ships used the Iranian-designated route and recorded no crossings through Omani routes; Bab el-Mandeb transits rose 6.7 percent to 254.
Context
The vessel-count data measures how sharply the blockade and route controls have reduced traffic without treating a single day's movement as a restored shipping lane.
