How is the current navigation volume in the Hormuz Strait? British media: There has been no substantial recovery after announcing a ceasefire.

Richard Mead, editor-in-chief of the UK shipping media Lloyd's List, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency on the 10th that after the United States and Iran announced a ceasefire, there has not been a substantial increase in the traffic volume in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran still firmly controls the Strait of Hormuz, and navigation issues are expected to become the core focus of US-Iran negotiations. Data released by the UK-based maritime analytics company Windward showed that on the 8th, only 5 bulk carriers were tracked leaving the Strait of Hormuz, all passing through channels controlled by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard. On the 9th, there was a limited increase in shipping activities entering and leaving the strait. "Since the ceasefire was announced, we have not observed many ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. On the contrary, traffic volume has even decreased," Mead said. This is partly because the shipping industry is watching and trying to understand the future navigation conditions. He pointed out that currently, Iran still largely controls the Strait of Hormuz and requires all passing ships to report to the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Without Iranian approval, no ship is allowed to pass. Mead said that among all the stranded ships, there are about 600 large ocean-going vessels. According to his communication with these ship owners, the majority of large ships will not move until the next step of the situation is clear. "Everyone is waiting for the results of the negotiations, hoping to pass through the strait in the future without being attacked."
