[Data: Only 77 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since March 1] BlockBeats News, March 14, the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran has caused a 'blockage' in the global energy transportation hub, the Strait of Hormuz. Shipping data shows that since March 1, only 77 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz. In comparison, from March 1 to March 11 last year, 1,229 ships passed through this strait. On March 13, Agence France-Presse cited a report from Lloyd's List Intelligence, stating that most of the 77 ships that passed through were old and in poor condition, lacked proper insurance, and had unclear ownership. The institution, which provides shipping data and analysis services, noted that most of these ships belong to the so-called 'shadow fleet,' referring to tankers and natural gas carriers evading Western sanctions.
