Shipping activities in the Strait of Hormuz are recovering as 24 commodity ships passed through the global energy chokepoint on Monday, according to data from maritime analytics company Kpler.
The ships included oil tankers and liquefied natural gas carriers, as well as bulk carriers.
The data also showed that shipping activities in the strait continued to recover on Tuesday, with a giant oil tanker and several small ships entering the Gulf.
The total carrying capacity of the oil tankers passing through the strait was approximately 11 million barrels of crude oil, which indicates shipowners' increasing confidence in tansiting through the strategic waterway.
Also on Tuesday, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) warned that although the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will relieve global energy supply pressure in the short term, many vulnerable economies will still face the impact of long-term rising food and fuel prices.
