Nearly a third of Hormuz crossings used Omani route, tracking data shows

Nearly a third of vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz over three days (Friday to Sunday) used the Omani coastal route, according to MarineTraffic tracking data. A total of 108 vessels crossed the strait, with 30 opting for the Omani path, as the waterway remains central to the fragile US-Iran truce. Analysts described the traffic as 'operational but fragmented' amid ongoing security and diplomatic tensions.
