Hormuz traffic edges higher after lull
- At least 54 vessels transited through the Strait of Hormuz last week, more than doubling the previous week’s numbers
- They included 10 China-owned ships after the Iranian state news agency said that Tehran would permit Chinese vessels to transit
- Two LPG carriers left the Middle East Gulf for India, while an Adnoc-owned LNG carrier made its way into the MEG via dark transit
Traffic through Hormuz increased significantly last week as Iran-linked trade surged, despite the US blockade
