Four commodity vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf on Thursday, down from six a day earlier and below the 10-day average of about 16, preliminary shipping data showed, Reuters reports.
The figures could change as some ships typically switch off their transponders during the voyage to avoid the risk of detection in the conflict zone.
Of the four vessels, three were entering the strait heading into the Gulf and one was exiting, the data from shiptracker Kpler showed at 0200 GMT.
