Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains broadly halted, with only three ships passing the waterway in the past 24 hours, Reuters reports citing shipping data.

The Ean Spir products tanker, which has no known flag or ownership, has sailed through the Strait after previously calling at an Iraqi port, ship tracking data on the MarineTraffic platform shows.

The Lian Star cargo ship, which also has no known flag or ownership, has also sailed through the strait from an Iranian port.

Separately, the Meda liquefied petroleum gas tanker, which had called at a United Arab Emirates port in the Gulf and also has no known flag or ownership, crossed the strait on Monday in its second attempt to leave the Gulf after turning back previously, according to satellite analysis from data analytics specialists SynMax.

Those are a fraction of the 140 ships that sailed through daily before the US and Israel’s war on Iran began on February 28.
