British Maritime Analysis Company: Some ships still pass through the Strait of Hormuz after the US blockade.

The British maritime analysis company Windward released a report on the 14th, stating that despite the US blockade on all ships entering and leaving Iranian ports, some ships are still entering and leaving the Strait of Hormuz, and navigation has not completely stopped due to the US blockade. Windward also observed abnormal behaviors such as ships turning away, shutting down their automatic identification systems, and reducing speed. This indicates that as the risk of the Strait of Hormuz being blocked increases, related ships are reevaluating their routes. The report stated that on the 13th, navigation in the Strait of Hormuz was still restricted. There were a total of 10 inbound ships, including 2 oil tankers, 1 bulk carrier, and 7 general cargo ships; and 7 outbound ships, including 3 oil tankers, 3 general cargo ships, and 1 bulk carrier. President Trump of the United States announced that as of 10:00 am Eastern Time on the 13th, the US has implemented a blockade on all ships entering and leaving Iranian ports. The British shipping media "Lloyd's List" quoted John Denham, the incoming chairman of the International Shipping Association, on the 14th, stating that theoretically, if ships do not call at Iranian ports, they can depart the Strait of Hormuz via the route passing by the Iranian Larak Island. However, the maritime situation under the "fog of war" is unclear and dangerous. The report also mentioned that some details of the US blockade conditions are still unclear, and there have been no reports of ships attempting to probe the blockade by calling at Iranian ports.
