(2 days ago)There is still no major increase in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, despite US President Donald Trump posted earlier on his Social Truth platform that <x0 companies are starting to move, many of them loaded with oil”, the BBC writes.
Data from MerinTraff shows that only one ship has been completely passed from west to east: Japanese natural gas tank, Desha. She left the post Ras Laffan of Qatar on June 13th, loaded with merchandise.
Two other ships seem to be trying to make the same crossing as the Kayser and Blue Ocean 1 goods vessels.
We are monitoring eight more ships that have crossed the western edge of the strait and another that are sailing from the Bandar Abbasi area in Iran. It is unclear whether any of them will try to cross into the Arabian Sea.
Another ship, M SV Al-Shal may also be passing, but its position disappeared from MarineTraff while it was in northern Oman, making it more difficult to trace its location.
Signals could disappear due to poor coverage or signal jam.
It is also possible that the tracking system has been shut down by the crew. According to UN regulations, a ship's tracking system should be on at any time. The only exception is when the captain believes that keeping it on would pose a threat to the safety of the ship and crew. Periscope.
