According to data released by ship tracking agency Kepler on August 31, the number of visible merchant ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz this past weekend has dropped to 5 per day due to fears of being attacked. Reuters quoted relevant data as reporting that during the weekend of August 29 to 30, all ships passing through the strait were small ships, including two liquefied petroleum gas carriers. However, since some ships have turned off automatic identification systems to avoid attacks, the number of ships actually passing through the strait is likely that more ships will actually pass through the strait.
