Just two tankers—the sanctioned Iranian-loading supertanker Berg 1 and the chemical tanker Well Sail—crossed the Strait of Hormuz by early Thursday, according to Kpler and LSEG data, while most vessels paused or switched off AIS transponders. Daily traffic had recently recovered to 40 ships, well below the pre-war average of 125–140. War underwriters are advising clients to pause voyages, and the LNG carrier Al Rekayyat remains disabled off Oman after a strike on Tuesday. The effective stoppage follows three tanker attacks in the strait this week, which the U.S. blamed on Iran, and comes as a three-week-old truce frays.
