Boat traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains severely restricted. From Wednesday to Thursday morning, only 13 boats were observed passing through this important waterway, and there are few signs that it will reopen soon. Almost all of the ships observed appear to have sailed along the northern route between the Iranian islands in the strait, and most of them are related to Tehran or China. This is the same route that most ships passing through the strait have chosen in recent weeks. Eight ships have left the Persian Gulf since Wednesday morning, according to ship tracking data. Five more ships sailed into the Persian Gulf, including two LPG carriers.
