Data: Only 77 Ships Have Passed Through the Strait of Hormuz Since March 1
BlockBeats News, March 14th: The US-Iran conflict has led to a "blockage" of the global energy transport chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz. Maritime data shows that from March 1st to the present, only 77 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
In comparison, from March 1st to 11th last year, 1229 ships passed through this strait. Agence France-Presse cited the UK's Lloyd's List Maritime Intelligence Agency on the 13th as reporting that most of the 77 ships that passed through were in poor condition, had not purchased proper insurance, and had unclear ownership. This institution that provides maritime data and analysis services stated that most of these ships belong to the so-called "shadow fleet," including tankers and natural gas transport ships that evade Western sanctions.
