Shipping Activity in Strait of Hormuz Increases After Recent Lull
Shipping activity in the Strait of Hormuz has recently increased after a period of reduced traffic. Vessel transits, including liquefied natural gas tankers and very large crude carriers, have resumed, with some ships using dark transits by switching off tracking systems. Oil shuttling services, crucial for transporting Middle East crude amid regional tensions, have also picked up, helping stabilize global oil supplies. Despite flows remaining below pre-war levels, recent movements indicate a rebound in maritime trade through this key energy corridor.
