Hormuz transits collapsed last week after brief reopening
- Weekly transits fell from 78 to 35 – a decline of about 55%
- Non‑Iran‑linked vessel numbers slid from 31 to nine
- More than half of ships not affiliated with Iran switched off AIS while crossing the Strait of Hormuz
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz more than halved last week after Iran reinstated restrictions and tensions escalated into vessel attacks and seizures, leaving only a trickle of non‑Iranian ships willing to transit
