Daily transit numbers increase slightly

The count rose from seven vessels recorded a day earlier to reach ten on Wednesday. This figure represents a rise in activity compared to the previous day's tally. However, these preliminary numbers remain below the established 10-day moving average of about 17.

Data accuracy faces potential issues

Reported figures are subject to change because some ships switch off their transponders during the voyage. This practice can lead to undercounting the actual number of vessels passing through the strait. Consequently, the final verified count for the day might differ from the preliminary data released.
