🔸 Daily passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz reaches the lowest level in two months

Following the intensification of attacks on oil tankers in the waterways of the Persian Gulf, traffic statistics for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz have fallen to their lowest level in the past two months.

According to a report by the Kpler energy data analytics institute, on Tuesday only 7 cargo and fuel-carrying vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz, marking the lowest level of daily traffic since July 23.

Kpler analysts reported that the volume of crude oil transiting through this waterway, with a 27% decline compared to the previous week, has decreased to 10.1 million barrels per day. This figure equals 74% of the oil transit volume during the period before the start of military hostilities.

However, an increase in exports from ports outside the Strait of Hormuz—especially along the coasts of the Gulf of Oman and the Red Sea—and their reaching 6.7 million barrels per day (more than double the pre-war level) have, to some extent, prevented severe disruption in global oil supply.
