Hormuz traffic holds steady but remains below pre-war levels

Hormuz traffic holds steady but remains below pre-war levels Data and analytics firm Kpler says traffic in the Strait of Hormuz held "steady" on Tuesday, 1 July, with 34 verified crossings recorded and traffic evenly split by direction. The report followed data from another maritime tracker, Windward AI, which recorded 42 transits through the waterway on Monday. Both figures mark a drop from last week, particularly on 24 June, when 70 transits were recorded, the highest level since the US-Israeli war on Iran began. Traffic fell after the US and Iran exchanged tit-for-tat attacks over the weekend amid a dispute over the waterway's management. Before the conflict, roughly 130 to 140 ships passed through the strait daily.
