Strait of Hormuz cargo ship traffic falls to single-digit daily transits

Daily cargo ship transits through the Strait of Hormuz have dropped to single digits, down from a 10-day average of 14, according to preliminary tracking data.

• Cargo vessel transits through Hormuz fell to single digits per day at the start of the week, below the 10-day average of 14.
• The British maritime trade operations agency said Sunday that a ship in the strait was hit by a projectile, causing a fire that forced the crew to evacuate.
• Iran said one person died and four crew members were injured when an Iranian commercial ship was attacked off its coast.
• The figures exclude ships that crossed with automatic identification transponders off, so actual traffic may be higher.
