Strait of Hormuz: Shipping continues to be massively disrupted

Despite the lack of mutual attacks between the USA and Iran Shipping in which is important for global trade Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted. On Thursday would have Only eight ships passed through the strait, as can be seen from information from the data provider Kpler, which is available to the German Press Agency.

About 13 ships are accordingly on average last week passed through the bottleneck between the coasts of Iran and Oman.

Only half as many passes

While a temporary framework agreement was in place between Iran and the USA, there was also a phase of certain relaxation for shipping in the region. But after the collapse of the agreement and new blockades, the passage of freighters for dry goods was halved, wrote the shipping service provider AXS Marine on Platform X.

“This decline has wiped out much of the partial recovery seen following the ceasefire in June.”

The renewed US naval blockade also means massive cuts for Iran. The shipping data provider Windward reports, after analyzing satellite images, that no ships have docked on the island of Kharg, which is important for Iranian oil exports, for a long time.

Recently, both Iran and the USA spoke of a foreseeable agreement for shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says it is negotiating directly with the other neighboring state, Oman.
