Svmuu News The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has caused a "blockage" in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy transportation route. Shipping data shows that since March 1, only 77 vessels have passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
In comparison, from March 1 to 11 last year, 1,229 vessels passed through this strait. On the 13th, AFP cited information from Lloyd's List Intelligence, reporting that among the 77 vessels that passed through, most were older ships in poor condition, lacking proper insurance and with unclear ownership. This institution, which provides shipping data and analysis services, stated that most of these ships belong to the so-called "shadow fleet," which includes tankers and LNG carriers that evade Western sanctions.
