Hormuz traffic remains constrained
Strait of Hormuz transit activity remained constrained over 5 to 7 June, with only eight monitored crossings across commercial and non-commercial traffic. The total was one below the single-day count on 4 June and 14 below the previous weekend, underscoring a break from stronger weekend permissive passage. All crossings used the Iranian Route, while only two sanctioned Iranian-flagged vessels transited, pointing to weak broader commercial participation.ย
A recent attack on an MSC containership has reinforced the fragile operating picture in the area. Against a more volatile diplomatic backdrop, the Strait is likely to remain open only under narrow, tightly managed conditions, and moving further away from stabilising or increasing flows.ย
