Ship owners are cautious about avoiding risks, the shipping traffic in the Hormuz Strait sharply decreased on Friday.

Just the day after the US and Iran promised to lift the mutual blockade and there was a surge in oil shipments through the strait, the navigation volume in the Strait of Hormuz significantly decreased on Friday morning. There were no oil tankers leaving the Persian Gulf on Friday morning, but a very large crude carrier appeared near the Omani capital Muscat, indicating that the ship had completed the passage through the strait; a liquefied petroleum gas transport ship associated with Iran and a Norwegian product tanker entered the Persian Gulf. At the same time, four very large oil tankers laden with crude oil that had been stuck in the Persian Gulf were heading towards the strait. Two Indian-related very large oil tankers set off towards the strait on Friday, and two others were sailing eastwards in the gulf, shortening the distance to the strait. As the strait briefly returned to calm, the market began to question whether the US and Iran could finalize the disputed terms in the memorandum of understanding within the 60-day window. The planned Swiss meeting between the two parties has been cancelled; despite US warnings, the Israeli military carried out strikes in southern Lebanon. The maritime risk consulting firm Marisks issued a research report to clients on Friday, stating, "The first round of planned negotiations being directly cancelled has dealt a blow to regional stability. If diplomatic dialogue cannot be restarted, the maritime security situation may continue to be volatile, and all parties involved in shipping will remain in uncertainty."
