Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb remained largely unchanged on Tuesday, according to vessel-tracking data, as maritime traffic continues to operate at a fraction of normal levels amid ongoing regional tensions.

Data from shipping analytics firm Kpler showed that eight vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz during the day, matching the volume recorded a day earlier.

The traffic included five oil tankers and three bulk carriers. Of those, six vessels—three tankers and three bulk carriers—were entering the strategic waterway, while one liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier and one tanker were departing.

Before the outbreak of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran on February 28 and Tehran’s subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the route typically handled between 130 and 140 vessel transits each day.

Meanwhile, an LNG tanker operated by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has reappeared outside the Strait of Hormuz after successfully completing its passage through the region.

According to data from LSEG and Kpler, the tanker Mubaraz departed Das Island in the United Arab Emirates on July 14 after loading a cargo of liquefied natural gas.

The vessel was last tracked inside the Strait of Hormuz on July 16 before continuing its voyage across the Arabian Sea.

Ship-tracking data now places the Mubaraz off India’s western coast.

LSEG data indicates the tanker is scheduled to unload its cargo at the Dahej LNG terminal in the western Indian state of Gujarat, with an expected arrival date of August 5.

The continued movement of a limited number of commercial vessels through the region reflects cautious efforts to maintain energy exports despite persistent security concerns surrounding one of the world’s most critical maritime trade routes.
