    Hormuz traffic falls to three-week low, MarineTraffic says

    Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell to a three-week low of eight vessels on July 16, 2026, down from 15 the previous day. Seven of the eight transits used the Iranian shipping lane, with no vessels via the Omani route and no shadow fleet movements recorded. Half of the crossings were Iranian-flagged ships, evenly split between commercial and non-commercial vessels.

Vessels are using an alternative route through Oman, which carries a risk of grounding. A US-Iran memorandum of understanding was signed, but the trade body indicates the closure will last 'some time'.
