Oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz increased this week after the United States and Iran implemented an agreement that reopened one of the world's most important energy corridors following months of conflict. Commercial shipping activity remained below levels seen before the war, but tanker movements showed signs of recovery as crude exports resumed and vessels returned to established routes.
At least 20 oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, marking the highest level of tanker traffic since June 2, according to data from shipping analytics firm Kpler cited by CNBC. A total of 25 vessels, including cargo and container ships, made the transit that day.
