Svmuu Svmuu reports that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has increased this week, but analysts warn that more vessels are turning off their Automatic Identification System (AIS) tracking signals during transit.
According to Lloyd's List, a leading shipping industry media outlet, tanker owners are preparing for long-term shipping disruptions as regional risks remain elevated. Current traffic levels are still well below those seen before the conflict, when approximately 130 vessels passed through the strait daily, carrying about 20% of the world's oil and gas supply.
