Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz dropped significantly last week, with confirmed crossings falling 19.5% to 95 transits. Only three vessels made it through the waterway on Sunday, according to shipping data platform Kpler. The ships used the Iranian-designated route through the strait, with no crossings recorded through the Omani routes. Crossings through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, increased 6.7% to 254 transits, while so-called dark transits, in which ships turn off the transponders that broadcast their location, fell from 40 to 16, Kpler said.
