An Israeli Release, a Shipping Slowdown and Other Mideast News
Preliminary shipping data showed traffic fell to six vessels, below the 10-day average of about 13 as security concerns persist.
- On Wednesday, six commodity vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz, down from 11 the previous day and well below the 10-day average of around 13, preliminary shipping data showed on Thursday.
- Traffic is nowhere near the hundred-plus ships that traversed the waterway before the war, when the Strait of Hormuz once accounted for some 20% of the world's oil and natural gas.
- Kpler data shows the transit included two gas carriers and four tankers, though exact counts may vary because some vessels manipulate GPS trackers or switch off transponders during their voyages.
- Tehran has suggested it may have mined the Strait of Hormuz, while the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy published a map offering safe inbound and outbound routes through the waterway.
- Ongoing regional hostilities, including the Feb. 28 Israeli attack, have spiked gas prices more than 40%, with prices hovering near $4 per gallon amid continued disruption to global energy markets.
