Hormuz transits at lowest in over two months after attacks, data shows

Data shows that the number of vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz has fallen to its lowest level in over two months following a surge in attacks on tankers in the waterway. Crude crossing the strait dropped by 27% from a wartime high recorded the previous week, reaching at least 10.1 million barrels per day.

The decline follows a peak in attacks on tankers in the key shipping lane last week, coinciding with the ongoing conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. Shipping data indicates that only seven commodity vessels successfully passed through the strait during the affected period.
