SINGAPORE, Aug 21 (Reuters) – Seven commodity ships sailed along the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, just half the previous day’s tally, showed data from shiptracker Kpler, amid concern over risk to Middle East shipping as U.S.-Iran peace talks remain in limbo.
Of the total, four ships entered and three exited the waterway, which was used by nearly a fifth of global shipments of crude oil and liquefied natural gas before war began in February.
The seven did not include any very large crude carriers or liquefied natural gas tankers.
