Activity in the Strait of Hormuz remains below normal despite diplomatic progress between the United States and Iran, according to information from the MarineTraffic data service released this Tuesday, 16.
Data shows that only five confirmed crossings were recorded on June 15. The traffic consisted mainly of low-risk crossings, moderate parallel fleet activity and three commercial voyages carrying loads of DPP – freight in which the seller assumes all costs and risks until delivery to the buyer – and steel, according to Kpler.
According to the website hormuzstraitmonitor, there are two ships making the crossing and 500 waiting to cross the strait.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz will be “completely open” on Friday the 19th. The reopening of the route could cause a strong temporary increase in tanker traffic, according to Kpler analysts.
