🔶 Vessel traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has been reduced to a minimum
Kepler's tracking data shows that traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is still low, and on Saturday and Sunday a total of 12 cargo ships passed through this waterway.
According to Kepler, on Sunday, September 20 (29 Shahrivar), four ships, including two oil tankers and two empty ships, left the Strait of Hormuz and two small oil tankers entered the Persian Gulf. On Saturday, five ships carrying agricultural products, LPG gas and chemical fertilizers left the Persian Gulf, and a large empty ship carrying gas entered the area.
Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, announced on Saturday that over the past few months, more than a billion barrels of crude oil have been left from the countries bordering the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz with the help of US forces. He said the US has helped more than 2,000 commercial ships pass through this strait and the main waterways in this waterway have been "cleared of mines planted by the Iranians". According to reports, producers in the Middle East are still exporting their oil in tankers with transmitters turned off.
