Ship-tracking data on MarineTraffic shows vessel traffic leaving the Gulf and passing through the Strait of Hormuz remains low since the announcement of a deal to end the conflict on Sunday.
According to the BBC, only seven vessels, three tankers and four cargo ships, transiting the waterway and exiting into the Gulf of Oman over that period.
The maritime intelligence firm Windward, shows one liquefied petroleum gas tanker transited without broadcasting its location, the other six ships exited with their trackers active.
LNG (liquefied natural gas) tanker Disha was reportedly the first transit to the strait with its location transponders on.
The ship has now sailed into the Arabian sea and is currently heading to Dahej port in India’s Gujarat state, according to the Indian authorities.
BBC Verify has seen a video showing the tanker’s transit, which was first shared online yesterday and appears to have been filmed from another nearby ship.
