WorldGulf shipping traffic steady amid uncertainty over peace talks

Shipping activity in the Gulf remained broadly stable on Tuesday despite uncertainty surrounding peace talks. Ship-tracking data showed little change from the previous day at the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, two key maritime chokepoints in the Middle East. Traffic at both waterways therefore showed no major movement as the diplomatic outlook remained unclear.
