Far fewer ships are again passing through the Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz remains close to normal commercial traffic despite relatively resilient oil flows. SRF reported that only 12 ships crossed the strategic waterway over the weekend, compared with roughly 125 large commercial vessels per day before the war. The gap shows that the conflict is disrupting not only energy markets but also global shipping logistics and the cost of maritime risk.
