International market service agency Kepler posted news on social media on the 24th that there was a divergence in the navigation situation of the two key maritime corridors in the Middle East on the 23rd. Traffic volume in the Strait of Hormuz declined markedly, while the traffic volume of the Mander Strait, which connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, has rebounded. According to Kepler's data, a total of 6 ships completed the passage of the Strait of Hormuz on the 23rd, down 60% from the previous day. With the exception of one ship, all pass through channels designated by Iran. Meanwhile, a total of 49 ships passed through the Mander Strait that day, which is higher than the previous level. This includes 4 ships that have turned off the automatic ship identification system to “dark sail”. Kopler said that some of the ships that had previously turned back due to safety risks in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea have resumed sailing and completed traffic, but there are still some ships that continue to stay and watch after making a U-turn. Currently, international shipping companies are still continuously evaluating the regional security situation, and overall navigation activities are characterized by “careful but selective recovery.”
