Hormuz traffic sees sharp uptick but not back to normal
Make us preferred on Google A vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, off the coast of Oman’s Musandam territory, April 12, 2026. — Reuters Strait of Hormuz traffic has increased sharply, but remains at roughly half its peacetime level, representatives stated on Thursday as stranded sailors made their way out of the waterway.
Seventy verified crossings were recorded on Wednesday, according to an X post by analytics firm Kpler.
This marked the highest number of vessels in a day since Iran shut the Strait of Hormuz on Public demonstration 1 in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes.
At least 56 commodity vessels — including tankers carrying oil, gas, and dry bulk such as fertilisers — crossed on Wednesday, Kpler´s tracking platform showed.
On Thursday, 15 commodity vessels crossed by midday, according to Kpler — more than the average of 10 daily crossings between Public demonstration 1 and June 14, when Iran and the US agreed to a memorandum of understanding to start discussing an end to the conflict.
