The Holmuze Channel has fallen to the Mande Channel. Come back. litres

On 25 July, the international market service, Koppler, released information in social media that the 23-day traffic of vessels on the two key maritime routes in the Middle East had been divided, that traffic in the Straits of Hormuz had declined significantly and that traffic in the Straits of Mande had recovered between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. According to Koppler data, a total of six ships were completed in the Strait of Hormuz on 23 days, a 60 per cent decrease from the previous day. All but one of the vessels were passing through the channel established by Iran. At the same time, a total of 49 vessels were completed in transit in the Mande Channel on that day, up from the previous level. These include four ships that shut down the automatic identification system for ships for “dark voyages”. According to Koppler, some of the ships that had previously returned in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea due to security risks had resumed navigation and completed their traffic, but some of them continued to wait and see as they turned around. International shipping companies continue to assess the security situation in the region on an ongoing basis, and overall navigational activity is characterized by a “precautionary but selective resumption”.
