Gate News reports that since the outbreak of the conflict between the U.S. and Iran on March 24, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has been severely disrupted. Market service organization Keppler data shows that from March 1 to 16:00 GMT on March 23, the number of merchant ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz was only 144, a 95% decrease compared to before the conflict erupted on February 28. Of these, 91 voyages involved transporting oil and natural gas, most of which sailed eastward out of the strait. Data from the multinational “Joint Maritime Information Center,” led by the U.S. Navy, indicates that before the conflict, approximately 138 ships passed through the strait daily. On the 23rd, ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz appeared to use a northern route located north of Larak Island, Iran, which is approved by the Iranian government.
