Shipping Traffic Through Hormuz Still Largely Halted

Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell to three crossings in 24 hours after the U.S. seized an Iranian cargo ship, data showed.

  • Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained broadly halted on Tuesday with only three ships passing the waterway in the past 24 hours, according to shipping data.
  • Blockades of ports in Iran have infuriated Tehran, prompting it to maintain restrictions on the Strait, which typically handled one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supply.
  • The Ean Spir products tanker sailed through the Strait on Tuesday after calling at an Iraqi port, while the Meda LPG tanker crossed on Monday in its second attempt to leave the Gulf.
  • A ceasefire involving Iran appeared in jeopardy as Tehran vowed to retaliate for the seizure of one of its vessels and refused to join new peace talks.
  • Current traffic levels represent a fraction of the 140 ships that sailed through Hormuz daily before the war on Iran began on February 28, highlighting the dramatic decline in regional shipping.
