Shipping traffic through Hormuz remains muted

LONDON: At least seven ships - mainly ​dry ​bulk vessels - crossed the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, in line with ⁠muted activity in recent ⁠days, shipping data showed on Monday, while talks between Iran ‌and the United States ​have stalled.
The ⁠vessels included ships ​leaving from Iraqi ‌ports and one dry bulk ​vessel from an Iranian port, according to ship tracking data from Kpler and separate satellite ‌analysis from data analytics specialists ​SynMax.
Shipping traffic passing through ​the ‌crucial waterway ⁠at the entrance to the Gulf during an ​uneasy ceasefire between Washington ⁠and Tehran ​represents a fraction of the average 140 daily passages before the ​Iran war began on ​February 28.
