Khaberni - Recent navigational data showed a decline in ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, with only six ships crossing on Thursday, indicating ongoing disturbances in one of the most important global energy corridors.
According to data collected by MarineTraffic, the six ships included two tankers for oil, chemicals, or liquefied natural gas, alongside three cargo ships and a supply tanker designated for refueling ships.
The data indicated that only five ships crossed the strait on Wednesday, without recording any passage of oil, chemical, or liquefied gas tankers.
In contrast, Tuesday, the day a ceasefire was announced, saw relatively higher activity, with eleven ships crossing, including nine oil, chemical, or liquefied gas tankers and two cargo ships.
Since February 28, at least 212 tankers for oil, chemicals, or liquefied gas have crossed the strait, representing about 58% of the total ships that used this vital corridor during the same period, according to the data.
The figures also showed that about 29% of these tankers crossed during the first two days of the war, on February 28 and March 1, while the ships' flags were distributed among Panama (43 ships), Iran (37), Liberia (25), and Palau (15), in addition to other countries.
