"Every day, around 80 oil and gas tankers typically pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway off Iran's southern coast that carries a fifth of the world's oil and a significant amount of natural gas."
"On Monday, just two oil and gas tankers appear to have crossed the strait, according to a New York Times analysis of shipping activity from Kpler, an industry data firm. On Tuesday, one tanker passed through."
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway off Iran's southern coast, normally handles around 80 oil and gas tankers daily, transporting one-fifth of the world's oil supply and significant natural gas volumes.

The New York Times analyzed shipping data from Kpler, an industry data firm, to map this significant reduction in traffic, presenting the comparison through animated visualization showing vessel movements.
