Hormuz traffic falls sharply, especially through UN-backed Omani route
Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, particularly via the UN-backed Omani passageway, has sharply declined following renewed US-Iran strikes and vessel attacks. Traffic levels have stalled, with only six commodity tankers and 21 vessels transiting on Thursday and Wednesday, respectively, according to Kpler data. Experts predict ongoing volatility in traffic until a substantial agreement is reached.
