Seven vessels transited via Strait of Hormuz in past 24 hours: data

Published May 1, 2026 Updated May 1, 2026 08:35pm

Data and analytics firm Kpler says seven vessels, four commercial and three non-commercial, have transited through the Strait of Hormuz as of yesterday, Al Jazeera reports.

“Only two [vessels] laden west-to-east crossings were recorded, under Pakistani and Comoros flags carrying CPP and dry bulk, while higher-risk tonnage remained limited with just three shadow or sanctioned vessels observed and the rest assessed low-risk,” Kpler has said in a post on social media.

“No new physical attacks have been recorded since 22 April as the ceasefire holds,” it adds. “Most vessels are still using the IMO-regulated traffic separation scheme to reduce collision risk.”
