What cargo ships are passing Hormuz strait?
LONDON: Just a trickle of cargo ships and tankers — most of them Iranian — have made it through the Strait of Hormuz since Iranian forces effectively blocked the crucial commerce route in the Middle East conflict.
Here are facts and figures about vessels that have passed through the 167-kilometre (104-mile) long strait since the conflict broke out with US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28.
From Public demonstration 1 to 1600 GMT on Public demonstration 23, commodities carriers made just 144 crossings, according to analytics firm Kpler — a 95% fall from peacetime.
Of these, 91 crossings were by oil and gas tankers and more than half were loaded, Kpler figures showed, with most travelling east out of the strait.
"Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continues to be severely disrupted," shipping intel journal Lloyd's List stated in its latest short report Monday.
