Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz increased Monday after weekend exchanges of strikes between the U.S. and Iran. Maritime tracking firm Kpler reported 40 vessels passed through the waterway on Monday. The same data showed 24 ships transited on Sunday and 39 on Saturday.
Vessels that had been stranded for months started moving in larger numbers before many pulled back over the weekend. The weekend strikes prompted the temporary reduction in transits. Energy markets have been monitoring the strait closely because it handles a significant share of global oil shipments.
The rebound in traffic came after the initial disruption from the strikes. Reports indicate vessels resumed movement once conditions appeared more stable.
