On September 16, the number of vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz dropped to three, according to recorded data. This figure represents the total number of ships identified through standard tracking methods during the specified period.

The reported data excludes any vessels that may have navigated the waterway with their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders deactivated. Consequently, the actual volume of maritime traffic through the strait may be higher than the recorded count, as ships opting to avoid detection are not reflected in these figures.
