09-09-2026 09:17 AM


Ammon News - Six commodity vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, ​down from nine a day earlier ‌and below the 10-day average of about 12, preliminary shipping data showed on Wednesday.

The figures could change ​as some ships typically switch off their ​transponders during the voyage.

Of the six vessels, ⁠five were entering and one was exiting, ​initial data from shiptracker Kpler showed at 0200 ​GMT. They included one Panamax and one intermediate tanker.

Meanwhile, 25 commodity vessels transited the Bab ​el-Mandeb strait ​on Tuesday, ⁠another major maritime chokepoint in the Middle East, with 11 vessels ​entering and 14 exiting.

This compares with an ​average ⁠of around 27 ships going through Bab el-Mandeb over the past 10 days.

Among the vessels ⁠travelling ​through the strait were two ​Suezmax tankers, eight Aframax tankers and one Very Large Crude ​Carrier.
