According to the ship tracking information on September 14, 2026, four ships, including those carrying energy, sailed out of the Strait of Hormuz over the past two days; 10 cargo ships sailed into the Strait of Hormuz.

However, the above numbers do not include ships that have turned off their automatic identification systems when passing through the Strait of Hormuz. According to the UK Maritime Trade Action Office, a ship was hit by an unidentified flying object while passing through the Strait of Hormuz on the 13th, and the extent of damage to the crew and vessel is still unclear.

The Strait of Hormuz is a global shipping hub, carrying about a quarter of the world's maritime oil trade and a large amount of liquefied natural gas and fertilizer transportation. Before the US and Israel launched military strikes against Iran on February 28th, approximately 125 large commercial ships, including oil tankers, natural gas carriers, bulk carriers, and container ships, could pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily.Editor/Min Jing
