According to ship tracking data compiled by the industry, the number of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz has picked up in the past week, and the seven-day rolling average number of ships navigating until Friday reached the highest level since the outbreak of the US-Iran war at the end of February. As countries negotiate with Iran to ensure the passage of their ships, more and more ships are crossing the strait, including those not clearly linked to Iran. A French container ship and a liquefied petroleum gas ship owned by a Japanese affiliate were even seen passing through the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. This appears to be the first time such traffic has occurred since the US-Iran war blocked this critical waterway. According to the data, from Friday morning to Saturday evening local time, a total of 13 ships passed through the strait. Of these, 10 sailed out of the Persian Gulf and 3 sailed in from the high seas.
