Following a recent ceasefire, partial maritime traffic has resumed through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. According to data from the vessel-tracking platform MarineTraffic, at least nine ships have passed through the strait since the ceasefire was declared on Tuesday night. Among these were two oil and chemical tankers, though the overall number remains far below normal levels.

Before the conflict, the multinational Joint Maritime Information Center recorded an average of about 138 ships passing daily through the strait. Richard Meade, editor of maritime news agency Lloyd’s List, said the ongoing conflict had nearly halted vessel movement, with around 800 ships still stranded in the region.

Analysts noted that while limited traffic has resumed, uncertainty persists over whether Iran will fully reopen the strait. This continued uncertainty could keep affecting global trade and energy supply conditions.
