Iran’s Plan to Charge for Strait of Hormuz Transits Could Spread to Other Regions, Experts Warn

The past week, May 4 to Sunday, saw more dark transits – when ships turn off their automatic identification system – than traceable transits, according to Lloyd’s data. This is more similar to the beginning of the war than the past few weeks where traceable transits outnumbered dark transits.

The percentage of ships with an Iranian nexus has dropped as well, likely due to the American blockade of Iranian ports, Meade said. But there are still Iranian ships getting through.

United Against Nuclear Iran tracked MT Huge (IMO: 9357183) in the South China Sea on Wednesday. It left Chabahar, Iran, on April 14.
