The Strait of Hormuz has been the center of discussion for the last few weeks and the tension between Iran and America regarding this sea route has reached its peak. This route, which is very important for global maritime trade, has become the center of continuous dispute after the war between Israel-America versus Iran. From time to time, America and Iran have adopted different stances regarding permission to use this route. Meanwhile, it has now come to light that more than 20 ships traveled through this sea route in a single day.
More than 20 ships transited the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, the highest number of ships passing through the route since March 1, according to data from ship traffic analysis company Kpler. Five of the ships that set sail on Saturday (April 19) carried cargo ranging from oil products to metals from Iran. Three of these are ships carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), one of which is bound for China and one for India.
