Britain's Maritime Trade Authority (UKMTO) said the intensity of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remained about 75 percent lower than it was at the beginning of the year - before the US-Iran conflict.
The number of ships that pass through the strait is dominated by tankers, UKMTO said. Since July 26, the agency has received 43 reports of shell incidents, 26 of them on the southern route off the coast of Oman.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkin said earlier this week that the authorities do not intend to pose a security threat in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. However, he said, other parties should not be allowed to use the strait against the Islamic Republic.
