Shipping data showed that the number of ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz declined further on Tuesday, as security concerns persist amid ongoing attacks between the United States and Iran.

Data from Kepler showed that three cargo ships crossed the strait on Tuesday, down from four on Monday.

Kepler data showed that the general cargo ship (Kaiser) left the strait loaded with goods, while the dry bulk carrier "H7SMP8" entered the strait empty, meaning it will load a shipment in the Gulf. Kepler said the ship (Hsin Ocean) entered the strait on Tuesday carrying refined palm oil.

No very large crude carriers or liquefied natural gas tankers were seen crossing the strait on Tuesday.

The US military announced late Tuesday that it carried out its latest strikes on Iran in the eleventh consecutive night of such attacks. This indicates that the conflict between the United States and Iran is expanding.
