- Commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen sharply, with Kpler data showing only four commodity vessels transiting on Monday, down from seven the previous day, amid escalating US-Iran military exchanges and threats from Yemen's Houthi rebels.
- No very large crude carriers or LNG tankers were seen passing through the waterway, raising fears of disruptions to global energy supplies.
- The concerns grew after UKMTO reported a tanker was struck by an unknown projectile in the strait, and Greek company Dynacom Tankers said two of its vessels were hit off Oman's coast and a third struck by a drone at Russia's Novorossiysk terminal.
What to watch next
- Whether VLCC and LNG tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz resumes or stays halted
- Further attack reports on commercial vessels tracked by UKMTO and shipping companies
- Expansion of security risks from the Strait of Hormuz to Red Sea shipping routes
