Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has declined for the second consecutive day, Al Jazeera reports citing data released by maritime monitoring firm Kpler.

The company reports 22 transits on July 9, compared with 30 the previous day.

Activity remains largely low risk, as no new attacks have been reported on any vessels in the strait since July 7.

Operators continue to heavily favour the Iranian route, while the Omani route saw just one crossing.
