More than 20 ships cleared Hormuz on Saturday - Kplr

Apr 20, 2026, 00:53 GMT+1

More than 20 vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, the highest number of ships crossing the waterway since March 1, according to data from shipping analytics firm Kpler.

The transit suggests some continued commercial traffic through the strategic passage despite heightened tensions in the region.

Among the vessels that crossed on Saturday, five had last loaded cargoes in Iran, carrying products ranging from oil derivatives to metals.

Three of those ships were liquefied petroleum gas carriers, with one bound for China and another for India, the data showed.
