ONLY ONE OIL TANKER HAS PASSED THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ TODAY - CNN CITING SHIPPING DATA
Shipping data shows only one oil tanker transited the Strait of Hormuz so far today, according to a CNN analysis of MarineTraffic AIS data. The vessel, the US-sanctioned, Botswana-flagged Mab 5, passed through earlier in the day.
Two other ships—a Panama-flagged bulk carrier and an India-flagged cargo vessel—also moved through into the Persian Gulf, while an India-flagged sailing vessel exited into the Gulf of Oman.
However, AIS tracking gaps mean additional ships could have passed undetected if they turned off signals.
Traffic remains far below normal levels since the recent US-Iran ceasefire announcement, compared with a typical average of about 107 vessels per day, underscoring continued disruption in one of the world’s most critical oil chokepoints.
