Non‑Iranian traffic through Hormuz hits post‑war high as dark transits surge
- Non‑Iranian traffic rose to its highest post‑war level, with dark transits and Omani‑side routing used
- Two MSC boxships and a Safesea tanker exited the MEG in dark transits
- Despite the increase, at least 16 non‑Iranian affiliated ships were unable to transit amid renewed Iranian restrictions and attacks
Non‑Iranian‑linked vessels cleared the Strait of Hormuz last week in their highest numbers since the war began, as boxships and tankers relied on dark transits and alternative routing to escape the Middle East Gulf during a brief reopening of the chokepoint
