Kpler data show tracked bulk-cargo transits through the Strait of Hormuz rose to 10 on Wednesday from 8 on Tuesday, but remain below a roughly 10-day moving average of 15, despite ongoing US‑Iran geopolitical tensions. Vessels entering from the Gulf of Oman included two medium product tankers, one LPG carrier, one Panamax tanker and three handy tankers; exiting toward the Gulf were one medium product tanker, one asphalt tanker and one bulker.
