At least 37 commodity carriers transited the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, a record level since the start of the Middle East war in late February, according to data from the maritime tracking firm Kpler. AXSMarine, another shipping data provider which tracks transits by commercial vessels including container ships, counted 42 crossings on Monday — also a record. Five empty liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers were among the ships crossing on Monday, according to Kpler.
