Shipping through Strait of Hormuz hits highest level since March

• 36 ships transited the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, the highest daily level since March.
• Data comes from maritime analytics platform Kpler tracking shipping activity in the region.

Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz rose sharply on Monday, with 36 vessels passing through the strategic waterway, marking the highest daily level since early March, according to data from shipping analytics firm Kpler.

The increase reflects a rebound in maritime movement through one of the world’s most critical energy corridors, which connects the Gulf to global markets and carries a significant share of global oil shipments.

Kpler, a platform that tracks vessel movements and commodity flows, said the figure represents a notable uptick compared with recent weeks, though it did not immediately provide a detailed breakdown of vessel types or cargo.
