Only two commodity vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, down from 10 a day earlier and far below the roughly 125 large commercial vessels that typically transited daily before the Iran conflict began on Feb. 28. The latest preliminary data excludes vessels that may have switched off their Automatic Identification System transponders. A Panama-flagged Supramax carrying minerals and a Liberia-flagged bulk carrier entered through an unknown route. The strait normally handles about 20% of the world’s daily crude oil and liquefied natural gas supply. Separately, the Isle of Man-flagged crude tanker LR Stephanie was struck by an unidentified projectile while entering the waterway, injuring two crew members, while the Liberia-flagged LPG tanker Al Maryah was hit while outbound the previous day. Both vessels continued without towing assistance. Marisks Intelligence said responsibility remained unconfirmed and neither ship appeared on publicly reported Iranian Persian Gulf Strait Authority non-compliant lists. Earlier UKMTO reporting attributed attacks on two tankers to Iran, but its account did not provide matching vessel or casualty details. Twenty-six vessels crossed the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Monday, unchanged from the previous day.
