NEW DELHI, India — Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell to six yesterday, compared with a 10-day average of about 11 vessels, shipping data showed, amid fading hopes of a peace deal between the US and Iran.
Four commodity vessels, including two empty oil product tankers, entered the waterway, data from Kpler shows as of 0420 GMT. Two vessels — a small tanker laden with liquefied petroleum gas and another carrying residual fuels — exited the Strait, the data showed.
In pre-war days, about 130 to 140 ships typically transited the strait.
Yesterday, 25 vessels transited the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on the Red Sea, broadly unchanged when compared with the 10-day average of nearly 24 ships, Kpler data shows.
