The maritime industry publication Lloyd\u2019s List has reported a significant decline in ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz following renewed clashes and tensions between the United States and Iran. Non-Iranian shipping in this strategic waterway has effectively come to a halt.<\/p>\n
According to the report published on Wednesday, vessels that still choose to pass through the Strait of Hormuz are resorting to ‘covert transit’ to reduce potential risks. It is mentioned that some of these ships are turning off their location transmitter systems to avoid being tracked.<\/p>\n
The Strait of Hormuz is among the world\u2019s most crucial energy transit routes, and any military or political tensions in this area can impact global oil markets and maritime trade.<\/p>\n
Lloyd\u2019s List further added that increased US pressure on Iranian ports may bolster Washington-backed plans to revive the Kirkuk\u2013Baniyas pipeline connecting Iraq and Syria\u2014a project aimed at establishing an alternative route for regional oil transportation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
