Fewer than 20 ships transit key Strait of Hormuz over weekend, data shows

Fewer ​than ‌20 commodity vessels ​transited the Strait ‌of Hormuz at the weekend, shipping data showed on Monday, ‌as Iranian and ‌U.S. blockades restrict traffic through the vital chokepoint for ⁠energy ​shipments.

Four ⁠vessels crossed the strait ⁠on Sunday, initial data ​from shiptracker Kpler showed by ⁠0124 GMT, with 13 ⁠on ​Saturday. The figures could change as some ⁠ships had switched off ⁠transponders on ⁠their way through.
