CBS, citing MarineTraffic:
• 6 ships transited the Strait of Hormuz Thursday
2 tankers, 3 cargo ships, 1 bunkering vessel
• Wednesday saw 5 ships, all cargo, zero tankers
• Tuesday, when the ceasefire was announced, 11 ships crossed, including 9 tankers
• Since Feb 28, 212 tankers have passed, about 58% of total traffic
Pre war baseline for comparison: ~100–140 vessels per day
• Total vessels since Feb 28: ~360–370
• At normal rates, that volume would move in about 3–4 days
• Instead, it has taken roughly 40+ days
Bottom line: traffic is running at roughly 5–10% of normal levels.
