The number of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz dropped to a minimum on Tuesday, with only two entering and two exiting, Reuters reported, citing the Kpler analytics firm.
According to analysts, none of the ships were supertankers with oil or tankers transporting liquefied natural gas.
Before the Middle East conflict began, about 125 large commercial vessels, including bulk carriers, container ships, oil tankers, and LNG carriers, typically passed through the strait each day, transporting about 20% of the world’s daily oil and LNG shipments.
