Daily vessel transits of the Strait of Hormuz were steady at three for each of the past three days, according to preliminary shiptracking data, amid continuing shipping risks in the Middle East and as oil prices surged back to $100 a barrel, Reuters reports.
Three vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz each day from July 22 to July 24, data from analytics firm Kpler showed.
On Friday, one more laden very large crude carrier (VLCC) Romania Prosperity appeared off Fujairah outside the strait with Murban crude, though its destination is so far unknown, and two empty soft commodity bulk carriers exited the strait into the Gulf.
