Vessels crossing Hormuz strait drop to 5 per day over weekend
XLE•Visible commodity vessel traffic falls
SINGAPORE, Aug 31 (Reuters) - The number of visible commodity vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz dropped to five per day over the weekend, shipping data showed on Monday, as companies tread cautiously amid continued attacks on ships.
The actual number of ships passing the strait could be higher as some vessels have switched off their automatic identification system to evade attacks.
