Suez Canal traffic is gathering pace as the Hormuz crisis reroutes ships, Bloomberg reported (Mirette Magdy; September 8, 2026 at 12:23 AM PDT). The page frames a partial recovery that began earlier in the year and says the resurgence is expected to continue. Hormuz is not reopened.
July saw 1,340 vessels, 27% more than in July 2025, after 1,208 ships in June. A 42% July figure appears on the page. 526 of July’s vessels compare with 485 the month before.
