Gate News message, April 6, the Strait of Hormuz (a globally critical oil shipping route) saw traffic rise to the highest level since the early days of the Middle East war, as more countries reached safety passage agreements with Iran. Over the weekend, a total of 21 ships transited the waterway, which is the highest two-day total since traffic began falling in early March. Although the current number of ships transiting remains far below pre-war levels (about 135 vessels), more countries have already been granted passage. A senior crude oil analyst at Singapore’s Kpler said that, while Iran is responding to requests from its partner countries, it is also strengthening its control over the Strait of Hormuz; passage still depends on Iran’s will, and if the conflict escalates, the situation could change at any time. As of now, most of the ships that have been approved for passage appear to be following routes instructed by Tehran, sailing close to Iran’s coast, though more ships are starting to choose routes along the opposite shore.
