The Mei peace talks stalled and ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz declined

The security situation in the Middle East region has become increasingly critical as the peace talks between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran remain stalled, and ship traffic in the Straits of Hormuz has declined on Thursday from the previous day. Preliminary data from ShipTracker Kpler indicate that a total of 7 cargo ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, down from 14 on Wednesday, with 4 ships entering the Strait and 3 leaving. The data show that there are no super-large tankers (VLCC) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers passing through this narrow sea lane on Thursday. However, a super-large gas transporter transporting propane and butane departed the Strait via an Iranian route。
