Strait Of Hormuz Vessel Crossings Rise To 13 From 9 A Day Earlier

Global shipping routes remain under close watch as new MarineTraffic data points to a noticeable rise in confirmed vessel movements through the Strait of Hormuz, while traffic through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait also edged higher.

The latest figures highlight the growing concentration of sanctioned and shadow-fleet vessels moving through some of the world’s most strategically important waterways, even as no new confirmed vessel attacks have been reported.

With the IMO already tracking dozens of maritime incidents across the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Middle East, the increased activity is likely to keep energy markets, insurers, and security analysts on high alert.
