Four were classified as shadow vessels and one as sanctioned.
Bab el-Mandeb recorded 36 confirmed crossings, down 7.7% from 39. Of these, 15 entered the Red Sea and 21 exited. The total included seven #sanctioned vessels, five shadow vessels and 24 in all other categories, alongside two dark transits.
