FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Commercial shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen to its lowest level since May, as escalating military tensions between the United States and Iran disrupt vessel movements through the waterway. An average of just 10 commodity-carrying vessels transited the strait each day over the past 10 days, according to shipping data from Kpler. Maritime traffic fell sharply over the weekend. Only two vessels passed through the strait on 5 September, followed by six on 6 September, with most of the vessels using the Iranian side of the waterway.
