Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is increasing, but the risks to shipping remain high

Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has begun to partially resume, but the region remains dangerous for carriers due to military tensions.

This is reported by Bloomberg.

According to the agency, the number of supertankers passing through the strait has increased, which is partially improving the situation in the oil market.

At the same time, shipping volumes remain significantly below pre-war levels. Before the escalation, about 135 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz daily, while recent figures remain much lower.

Some ships are traveling the route with their tracking systems turned off, indicating that high navigation risks persist.

Analysts note that despite some revival in traffic, shipowners remain cautious about operating in the region.

Iranian authorities have begun granting permission to select Chinese vessels to pass through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.

Additionally, the U.S. military struck the vessel Touska, which was attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz under the Iranian flag despite the blockade.
