Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz rose slightly on Wednesday, Aug. 27, despite the continuing geopolitical standoff between the United States and Iran. Kpler recorded 10 visible commodity-carrying vessels, up from eight on Tuesday but below the 10-day moving average of about 15. Iran and Oman were still working on the details of an agreement concerning the waterway after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the countries had agreed how to share the strait and its revenue. Traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait weakened for a second consecutive day, with 19 vessels recorded on Wednesday versus 24 the previous day, including six departing tankers and one very large crude carrier. Some vessels may have been missed because their transponders were turned off.
