Data showed that maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowed over the weekend following attacks targeting oil tankers, at a time when talks between the United States and Iran aimed at resolving the Middle East conflict stalled.
​Ship-tracking data from Kpler revealed that five commodity cargo vessels crossed the strait on Saturday, with no crossings recorded on Sunday, compared to 31 vessels during the previous weekend.
​Kpler data showed that the vessels entering the strait on Saturday included an empty Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) with its Automatic Identification System (AIS) switched off, as well as a large gas carrier flying the Indian flag that utilized the Iranian route.
​The data also indicated the exit of a small tanker loaded with Iranian fuel oil.
​Maritime shipping traffic appeared to come to a near-standstill after the UAE announced that three vessels operated by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) were attacked while transiting the strait last week.
