Strait of Hormuz shipping remains effectively closed
Original: SITREP "Hormuz remains effectively closed at 1% of pre-war transits on latest day (1 vessel vs 97 baseline), with 7-day
A shipping situation report says the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, with just one vessel transiting on the latest day against a pre-war baseline of 97, and a seven-day average stuck at 3% of normal traffic. The report adds that the Bab al-Mandab strait is holding at roughly 80% of pre-war levels, averaging about 27 vessels a day.
Why now: Ongoing conflict has drastically cut shipping through Hormuz, with major implications for global oil and trade routes.
