Only 40 vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, according to data from maritime intelligence firm Kpler.
The figure remains significantly lower than the average daily crossings recorded before the conflict with Iran began in February, underscoring the persistent disruption to one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints.
The continued suppression of traffic volume reinforces the risk premium embedded in global energy markets.
With the strait handling roughly a fifth of the world's oil supply, any sustained reduction in throughput capacity keeps upward pressure on Brent crude prices and freight rates for tankers navigating the region.
The data suggests that despite diplomatic efforts, commercial shipping operators remain cautious about the security environment.
This latest data point follows recent reports from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which confirmed that 115 ships had successfully passed through the strait since Tuesday.
