Kpler says Hormuz traffic drops sharply, remains steady through Bab el-Mandeb
Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz dropped 77% day-on-day to five vessels, all using the Iranian Unilateral Scheme, while Bab el-Mandeb maintained steady traffic with 47 crossings. The decline in Hormuz traffic reflects reduced operational confidence amid ongoing US-Iran tensions.
