Strait of Hormuz Traffic Falls to Four Ship Crossings
- On Tuesday, Reuters reported that only four vessels traversed the Strait of Hormuz, down from seven the previous day, citing ship-tracking data showing a sharp decline in tanker traffic.
- Houthi attacks on the East-West pipeline forced crude oil loading cancellations from Yanbu, prompting Saudi Arabia to seek increased shipments via the Strait as the Houthis expand control over the Bab and Mandeb.
- The 10-day moving average for tanker traffic fell to 18, with recent daily figures dropping below 10. None of the four vessels on Tuesday included LNG carriers or large crude tankers.
- Windward reported just one tanker entering the Strait on September 15, an oil product carrier; one vessel carried LNG and another was loaded with naphtha, though some ships may be disabling tracking devices.
- Reports indicate Aramco repair timelines for the East-West pipeline range from a few days to several weeks, creating uncertainty about when Saudi Arabia can restore normal crude exports.
