Only two ships transit the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, according to maritime data

The data does not include ships that may have crossed the strait after stopping the transmitters and receivers of the automatic identification system, to avoid tracking their movements.

Before the outbreak of the war in Iran on February 28, the strait witnessed the crossing of about 125 large commercial ships daily, including oil and gas tankers, bulk cargo ships, and containers, accounting for about 20% of the world's daily crude oil and liquefied natural gas supplies.

In a development related to maritime traffic, the company "Marisec Intelligence" for ship information and tracking said that a crude oil tanker and a liquefied petroleum gas tanker were attacked in two separate attacks while crossing the strait.

The company reported that the crude oil tanker "LR Stephanie", flying the Isle of Man flag, was targeted by an unidentified projectile as it entered the strait on Monday, resulting in two crew members suffering minor injuries.

According to the London Stock Exchange Group, the tanker is operated by the institution "Universal Tanker".

A liquefied petroleum gas tanker flying the flag of Liberia was also attacked on Sunday as it left the strait, according to "Marisec". The ship is operated by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company "ADNOC".

ADNOC Supply and Services said it does not comment on specific operational matters, including voyage planning or ship movements.

Marisec reported that the two ships continued their voyages without the need for tug assistance, adding that the responsibility for the attacks remains uncertain, and that neither ship was listed on the "non-compliance" list issued by the Strait Management Authority in the Persian Gulf Iranian.

In contrast, 26 ships crossed the Bab al-Mandab Strait at the southern tip of the Red Sea on Monday, unchanged from the previous day.
