Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is showing early signs of recovery, with 19 vessels crossing on Saturday after days of disruption, but analysts say the traffic hasn’t translated into any real increase in oil and gas actually flowing through the crucial waterway.
The strait, which once carried a fifth of the world's oil and gas, has been effectively closed since the US-Israeli war with Iran began on 28 February, with just three ships crossing a day at its lowest point, according to maritime intelligence firm Windward.
