According to the publication, two cargo ships and one tanker left the strait, while two tankers and one cargo ship passed in the opposite direction. This level of shipping corresponds to the figures of the last few days after the reduction in the number of transits.
CNN notes that earlier this month, US President Donald Trump announced his intention to impose a 20-percent levy on all cargo transported through the Strait of Hormuz.
In addition, since the start of the war in the region, cases of GPS signal spoofing have become more frequent, complicating vessel navigation, and after the breakdown of negotiations between the US and Iran earlier this month, such incidents have resumed.
