On September 11, preliminary vessel-tracking data released on Friday revealed that ship transits through the Strait of Hormuz fell to just seven on Thursday, down from eleven the previous day. This figure is significantly below the average of fifteen vessels per day recorded over the past ten days. Among the seven ships tracked, two exited the strait while five entered. The data excludes vessels that may have switched off their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders to avoid detection while traversing the strait, meaning actual traffic could be higher. The sharp decline in shipping traffic through this critical chokepoint for global oil and gas shipments may signal heightened security concerns or operational disruptions in the region.
