Vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz fell to four on Tuesday September 15 2026 - two entering and two exiting, none of them a crude carrier or LNG tanker - from seven the day before and against a ten-day average of eighteen, according to preliminary shipping data reported by Reuters on September 16. The two departures were a gas carrier with about 470,000 barrels of LPG via the Iranian route and a Panamax with about 510,000 barrels of naphtha on a dark route.
