According to CoinMeta, preliminary shipping data released on Wednesday showed that five bulk commodity carriers passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, which was roughly the same as the previous day, but far lower than the ten-day average of 15. Preliminary data from the ship tracking company Kpler indicated that two oil tankers carrying liquefied petroleum gas and one tanker carrying asphalt sailed out of the Strait of Hormuz, while two empty refined oil tankers entered the strait from the Gulf of Oman. A total of four bulk commodity ships passed through the strait on Monday. Since some ships typically turn off their positioning transponders during navigation, the above data may fluctuate. The number of cargo ships passing through the Strait of Mandeb, another important maritime route in the Middle East, also remained relatively stable at 31, slightly higher than the previous day's 29, but in line with the ten-day average.
