Preliminary shipping data published Tuesday showed commodity-carrying transits through the Strait of Hormuz fell to two vessels on Monday from 10 the previous day. The figures exclude ships that switched off AIS transponders. Kpler reported a Panama-flagged Supramax bulk carrier laden with ore and a Liberia-flagged bulk carrier entered the waterway via unknown routes. Separately, Marisks Intelligence said a crude oil tanker and an LPG carrier were attacked while transiting the strait.
