The number of vessels tracked passing through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen to a one-week low on Tuesday, as shipowners continue to avoid the strategic waterway amid ongoing disruption from Iran and the US.
Shipping data from Kpler, cited by Reuters, showed eight vessels transiting the strait, below the 10-day average of about 12 and the lowest daily tally since August 5.
Separate data from LSEG recorded 11 transits on Tuesday, down from 14 a day earlier.
