Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has picked up as tensions ease, with more ships openly signaling intent to transit. AIS data on Tuesday morning confirmed seven vessels entering the strait: two fully laden non-Iranian VLCCs outbound from the Persian Gulf, three bulk carriers underway, and two Iran‑flagged Suezmax tankers approaching from the opposite side.
