        "content": "<p>Commercial ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz rose to its highest\nlevel since early June, with 25 vessels transiting the strategic\nwaterway on Thursday after a memorandum of understanding between the\nUnited States and Iran came into effect, covering the reopening of the\nstrait and the lifting of the US maritime blockade on Iran. Iran and the\nUS reached a 14-point agreement on 14 June through negotiations mediated\nby Pakistan to end the war and resolve disputes through dialogue. The\ndocument, known as the Islamabad Memorandum, took effect on 18 June\nafter being digitally signed by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and\nUS President Donald Trump. The agreement includes provisions for a\ncessation of hostilities, including in Lebanon, the reopening of the\nStrait of Hormuz, and the removal of the US maritime blockade against\nIran. The strait became a focus of market concern after commercial\ntraffic slowed sharply following the start of US-Israeli strikes on Iran\non 28 February. According to data compiled by Anadolu from analytics\nfirms Kpler and MarineTraffic, 25 ships carrying LNG, crude oil, oil\nproducts, fertiliser, dry bulk cargo, and containers transited the\nstrait on Thursday. Nine of these vessels were identified as fully\nladen. Four very large crude carriers alone transported at least eight\nmillion barrels of crude oil through the strait. Three VLCCs carried 6.2\nmillion barrels of Saudi crude, with more than four million barrels\ndestined for Japan and South Korea. The destination of 2.1 million\nbarrels aboard the Saudi-flagged tanker Jaham remains unknown. The VLCC\nTenzan, carrying 1.8 million barrels of crude from the United Arab\nEmirates, was also sailing towards Japan. The French-flagged LNG carrier\nMraikh transported 169,000 cubic metres of LNG from Qatar\u2019s Ras Laffan\nfacility to Pakistan. The Hong Kong-flagged tanker Tong Lin Wan carried\n592,000 barrels of clean petroleum products from the UAE to Singapore.\nTwo fully laden dry bulk carriers transiting the strait were\ntransporting fertiliser to India and China. MarineTraffic data showed 12\ncommercial ships crossed the strait on 14 June, followed by 10 on 15\nJune, 14 on 16 June, and seven on 17 June. Since the war began on 28\nFebruary, many commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz have\nbeen recorded as being under sanctions or identified as part of the\nso-called shadow fleet. A significant number of recent voyages have also\nbeen conducted through Iranian territorial waters, a route commonly\nreferred to as the Iran route.<\/p>",
