Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains largely frozen, with only limited vessel movements observed and most tied to Iranian-linked shipping. In a notable development, a supertanker previously halted by the US naval blockade has resumed its journey toward its destination.
While commercial activity remains severely depressed, daily transits through the waterway did climb on Saturday to ten ships from just five the previous day, pushed by a small wave of incoming Iranian-linked vessels, tracking data compiled by Bloomberg show. No transits have been observed Sunday morning.
