The Strait of Hormuz is still seeing very limited ship movement even after the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire.
Data from Kpler shows that only 12 ships have passed through the strait since the ceasefire was announced on April 8. On April 9, four tankers and three bulk carriers crossed the route.
Earlier, five vessels moved on April 8, followed by seven on April 9, showing that traffic remains low and uneven.
This is far below normal levels. In peaceful times, more than 100 ships pass through the strait every day, making it one of the most important routes for global oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade.
Iran agreed to stop hostilities for two weeks and allow ships to pass, but only under coordination with its armed forces. Its statements also made it clear that it will continue to control movement in the strait.
