Preliminary shipping data on Friday showed four commodity carriers transited the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, down from nine the previous day and well below the roughly 15-per-day 10-day average. Kpler said as of 04:55 GMT Friday (12:55 Beijing) the vessels comprised two MR tankers, one Kamsarmax bulker and one Handysize bulker. Counts may change as some ships switch off transponders while underway.
