Data: Only 77 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since March 1

Odaily News: The US-Iran-Israel conflict has caused a "blockage" in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy transportation route. Shipping data shows that since March 1, only 77 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz.

In comparison, from March 1 to 11 last year, 1,229 ships passed through this strait. On the 13th, Agence France-Presse cited information from the UK's Lloyd's List Intelligence, reporting that among the 77 passing ships, most are older vessels in poor condition, lacking proper insurance and with unclear ownership. This institution providing maritime data and analysis services stated that most of these ships belong to the so-called "shadow fleet," which includes oil tankers and liquefied natural gas carriers that evade Western sanctions.
