Oil tankers rerouted through Iranian waters as shipping patterns shifted amid persisting Strait of Hormuz tensions despite an easing ceasefire.
Vessel tracking showed some carriers choosing routes that pass closer to Iranian coastlines to avoid congestion or security risks at traditional lanes. Hormuz carries roughly one-fifth of global oil shipments.
A U.S.-Iran ceasefire reduced immediate military risk but insurers and shipowners remained cautious. Freight rates fluctuated with perceived threat levels.
Energy markets watched whether traffic would normalize fully or whether rerouting would become semi-permanent.
