Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains below average
Weekend traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained below its 10-day average, with some reports counting only seven crossings and noting that more ships are sailing without tracking. The new data indicates continuing operational disruption beyond the previously reported limits on tanker air-defense coverage.
Reduced and less visible tanker traffic through a critical energy chokepoint raises risks to shipping security and could amplify energy-supply disruptions.
