Recovery of ship traffic in Hormuz limited, but signs emerge
Maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains at levels before the Iran-US agreement, says the Kpler maritime tracking platform, but there are signs of recovery ahead of Friday's official reopening.
Eight ships carrying raw materials transited the strait on Monday, and six on Tuesday, according to Kpler data updated on Wednesday. The agreement was reached overnight Sunday.
This rate is comparable to the previous week, which saw an average of eight transits per day.
That is well down on the rate of approximately 120 transits per day before the war, according to the maritime information website Lloyd's List.
