Ships Transit Strait of Hormuz Amidst Deal Uncertainty
Based on ship-tracking data, a significant number of vessels remain within the Gulf, with over 250 tankers and 440 cargo ships identified by their last reported positions. A substantial majority of these tankers, exceeding 80%, are either stationary or at anchor. Furthermore, approximately one in six of these tankers appears to be actively carrying cargo, indicating continued operational activity despite their current status.
