Hormuz Shipping Declines as Bab el-Mandeb Traffic Recovers
(MENAFN) Maritime activity shows contrasting trends at two major global shipping chokepoints, with vessel movements weakening through the Strait of Hormuz while traffic through Bab el-Mandeb continues to recover, according to recent data.
Shipping patterns across the two strategic waterways move in opposite directions. In the Strait of Hormuz, the number of crossings drops 28% to 77, while laden voyages decline from 45 to 33.
Movements involving sanctioned vessels and the shadow fleet also fall significantly, dropping from 50 to 23 in the area. Meanwhile, 40 transits have routes that remain unidentified, while another 32 follow Iran's unilateral traffic scheme.
The situation differs in Bab el-Mandeb, where maritime crossings increase 9.7% to 248, signaling a gradual improvement in activity through the Red Sea gateway.
Laden vessel movements also edge higher, rising from 103 to 109. Dark transits remain relatively stable at around 23, while compliance with the traffic separation scheme stays close to 91%.
The latest figures indicate mounting challenges for commercial shipping in the Gulf, whereas activity through the Red Sea chokepoint continues to demonstrate comparatively stronger resilience.
