Hormuz Traffic Falls to Six Vessels as Deal Hopes Fade

August 11, 2026

News summary: Reuters reported only six vessels crossed Hormuz on Monday versus a 10-day average of about 11 and a pre-war norm of 130–140. Two outbound vessels carried LPG and residual fuels.

Market context: The mix of empty inbound product tankers and limited laden outbound traffic showed that a crossing count alone did not equal restored cargo availability.
