Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell to six on Monday, 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, Reuters reports.

Four commodity vessels, including two empty oil product tankers, entered the waterway, data from Kpler showed on Tuesday 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.
