Preliminary Kpler data counted four commodity vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, September 14, down from ten on Sunday. The latest count shows traffic through the waterway between Iran and Oman fell further at the start of the week. The reported decline came as attacks across the Middle East intensified, increasing pressure around a critical maritime route. The figures were described as preliminary; the report did not identify the four vessels, specify their cargoes, or call Monday's count a record low.
