Vessel transits at the Strait of Hormuz have fallen to 9, compared with the previous day’s 14, preliminary ship-tracking data shows, according to Reuters.
Of those, eight ships exited, according to the data.
The 10-day average of transits is 18. Some vessels may be sailing through the waterway with their transponders turned off and are not considered in the counts.
Of the eight exits, one was a ballast very large gas carrier, and one was a laden very large crude carrier (VLCC).
The rest of the exits were made by Panamax, Supramax, short-range and medium-range tankers.
The vessel that entered the strait was a dry bulk handymax carrier.
