Kpler counts 10 Hormuz crossings on 23 September while a US official says about 60 ships passed

Disputedon credible origins that conflict: 2 distinct origins, 2 tied to no party.

Preliminary Kpler data showed 10 commodity vessels crossed the strait on 23 September, below a 10-day average of about 17, Reuters reported; Kpler does not count ships sailing with transponders off. A US official told Reuters about 60 commercial vessels transited that day, about 40 of them coordinating with the US military, carrying about 22 million barrels of oil; Reuters could not verify the figures. Reuters later reported that ship-to-ship transfers in the Gulf of Oman had hit their limit as Saudi Arabia shifted exports through Hormuz.
