The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reports that commercial shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has declined to approximately 90 percent below pre-conflict levels. The agency noted that maritime operators are increasingly opting for northern transit routes to avoid the area.
This shift in maritime logistics follows a period of heightened regional instability. The UKMTO recorded 101 incidents in the region as part of its ongoing monitoring of maritime security and commercial vessel movement.
