MarineTraffic shows at least seven commercial vessels transited the Strait of
Hormuz in the past 24 hours: six entered the Persian Gulf (five cargo, one
tanker) and one entered the Gulf of Oman (cargo). Over the same period at least
30 commercial vessels passed the Bab el‑Mandeb: 20 entered the Red Sea (13
cargo, seven tankers) and 10 entered the Gulf of Aden (eight cargo, two
tankers). Iran and Oman are negotiating management of the Strait of Hormuz,
which could establish agreed shipping lanes and protection measures for
commercial traffic. Ongoing GPS interference continues to complicate navigation
and transits in the region.
