Hormuz traffic sends mixed signals Iran appears to be pursuing a calibrated strategy in the Strait of Hormuz, using selective vessel passage as strategic signalling rather than imposing full disruption. According to #MarineTraffic data, some activity may be resuming, with nine vessels having crossed since yesterday, including the Marivex, Jasmin, Bright Gold, Lenore, Jag Vasant, Pine Gas, Kiazand, Artman, and Levantes. Some of these movements appear to be taking place outside the IMO traffic separation scheme, close to Qeshm Island, raising questions about route control, risk exposure, and whether this reflects a genuine resumption of activity or a more constrained traffic pattern.

Attack near Fujairah oil terminal disrupts bunker operations An attack near the Fujairah oil storage area has added fresh uncertainty to the regional bunker market as tensions in the Gulf continue to escalate. According to industry sources, product loading at the Fujairah Oil Tanker Terminal (FOTT) has been halted. Initial reports indicate significant damage to key infrastructure, with Manifold 1 — supplying berths 1, 2 and 7 — reportedly inoperable. Manifold 2 serves berths 8, 9 and VLCC berths, but several terminals are not connected to it, leaving large parts of the port currently unable to load or discharge cargo. Fujairah is the third-largest bunker port in the world, meaning disruptions could have broader implications for regional marine fuel supply. Watch the #MarineTraffic playback of vessel activity at the Port of Fujairah over the past week.

Strait of Hormuz traffic remains uneven Vessel activity through the Strait of Hormuz continues, but traffic patterns remain uneven and visibility remains limited. According to #MarineTraffic data, 29 verified vessel crossings were recorded between 10 and 14 June, covering crude, refined products, LPG, chemicals, methanol, and general cargo movements. Activity was concentrated on 11 and 12 June, while directional flows remained imbalanced: 23 crossings moved west-to-east, compared with six in the opposite direction. Route transparency also remains a key issue, with 18 crossings, or around 62%, classified as Dark or Unknown Route. Two sanctioned vessels were also identified during the period.

LNG carriers abort Strait of Hormuz transit attempt Two Qatari-laden LNG carriers attempting to exit the Middle East Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz have reversed course, underscoring continued disruption to global gas flows. According to #MarineTraffic data, the 148,853-cbm LNG carrier Al Daayen, originally bound for Tianjin, China, and the 260,912-cbm Q-Max vessel Rasheeda, bound for Port Qasim, Pakistan, both approached the strait before turning back. Following the aborted crossing, the 288-metre Al Daayen updated her AIS destination to Pakistan at 09:37 UTC today. These voyages would have marked the first LNG shipments to destinations outside the Gulf since the conflict began, reinforcing that LNG exports through the Strait of Hormuz remain effectively stalled despite limited movements within the Gulf.

Six cruise ships clear Strait of Hormuz during brief reopening A flotilla of cruise ships stranded in Gulf ports since late February has now cleared the Strait of Hormuz, taking advantage of a brief reopening of the waterway before tighter controls returned. According to #MarineTraffic data, Celestyal Discovery was first through, crossing the strait at 14:30 UTC on 17 April after departing Port Rashid, Dubai, earlier that day. Four more ships followed on 18 April within less than an hour, led by Celestyal Journey at 10:54 UTC, followed by MSC Euribia at 11:11 UTC, Mein Schiff 5 at 11:44 UTC, and Mein Schiff 4 at 11:46 UTC. A sixth vessel, Aroya, crossed on 19 April at 19:15 UTC, extending departures from Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Dammam. The crossings took place during a narrow window after Iran said the strait was open to commercial traffic during the ceasefire, though access has since tightened again.

Maritime traffic remains resilient A total of 53 confirmed vessel crossings were recorded across the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb on 28 July, with 12 transits through Hormuz, an increase of 50% from the previous day, and 41 through Bab el-Mandeb, up 5%. Traffic through Hormuz remained highly concentrated, with 10 of 12 vessels using the Iranian Unilateral Scheme and none using the Hormuz Traffic Separation Scheme. In Bab el-Mandeb, the latest data identified 4 dark transits, 4 sanctioned vessel crossings and 8 shadow fleet movements, reinforcing that while commercial traffic continues, routing behaviour and vessel transparency remain the key indicators of operational, compliance and geopolitical risk.

Transit patterns diverge #MarineTraffic data highlights diverging patterns across two of the world's most strategically important maritime chokepoints. Between 24 and 26 July, the Strait of Hormuz recorded 29 verified crossings, including 21 vessels exiting the Middle East Gulf and 8 entering. Routing remained evenly split, with 14 transits using the Iranian Unilateral Scheme, 14 classified as Route Undetermined, and one using the Hormuz Traffic Separation Scheme. By comparison, Bab el-Mandeb recorded 100 verified crossings, with 51 vessels entering the Red Sea and 49 exiting. Ninety vessels followed the Traffic Separation Scheme, while 10 completed dark transits. Several vessels that had previously delayed or reversed course later completed their crossings, suggesting operators are continuing to assess risk dynamically rather than avoiding the route altogether.

Traffic rises, risks persist #MarineTraffic data recorded 41 verified crossings through the monitored Strait of Hormuz zone on 7 July, up from 36 the previous day. Commercial west to east movements continued to lead activity, while laden crude, dry bulk and LPG voyages remained prominent. However, routing patterns reflected continued uncertainty, with increased use of IMO routes alongside a high share of Dark or Unknown transits and declining use of the Omani route. The security environment also deteriorated following two newly confirmed tanker incidents near Oman, while the introduction of OFAC General License X1 tightened the compliance landscape for Iranian related trade. The combination of operational risk and regulatory pressure suggests confidence remains measured despite stronger traffic volumes.

Maritime traffic remains under pressure #MarineTraffic data shows commercial shipping continuing through both of the Middle East's critical maritime chokepoints, although traffic patterns reflect growing operational caution. On 21 July, 9 verified vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz, compared with 29 crossings through Bab el Mandeb. Over 20 to 21 July, Hormuz recorded 22 crossings, with 16 using the Iranian Unilateral Scheme, while Bab el Mandeb handled 73 crossings. Vessel behaviour is also shifting, with four verified U turns near the Gulf of Aden following heightened security threats. Combined with 61 confirmed maritime incidents reported by the IMO, the data suggests that geopolitical risk is increasingly influencing routing decisions, even as commercial traffic continues.

New satellite navigation interference observed near the coast of Ras Al Khaimah A new satellite navigation interference pattern was detected off the coast of Ras Al Khaimah starting at 15:00 UTC yesterday. Unlike the typical single-point clustering commonly associated with signal jamming, this interference creates the appearance of vessels moving in a straight line toward the Strait of Hormuz, even though the vessels are not actually following that trajectory. Further analysis using #MarineTraffic playback confirms that this movement is artificial. Vessel tracks show clear inconsistencies when compared with simultaneous vessel movements and reported headings, indicating that the apparent transit is the result of navigation interference rather than real vessel activity. From a market monitoring perspective, Kpler analysts have implemented enhanced monitoring protocols to identify and exclude erroneous insights generated by spoofed tracks, such as false Strait of Hormuz crossings or incorrect port calls, ensuring that market signals continue to reflect genuine vessel activity.

Strait of Hormuz crossings nearly triple week-on-week Vessel activity through the Strait of Hormuz has rebounded sharply across two consecutive weekends, pointing to a clear shift in traffic patterns through one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints. According to #MarineTraffic data and Kpler data, confirmed crossings rose from 32 vessels between 12–14 June to 93 vessels between 19–21 June, an increase of 61 crossings week-on-week. The sharpest change came on Saturday, when crossings jumped from 3 to 42 compared with the previous weekend. The recovery has been supported by recent diplomatic developments and a temporary OFAC general license, which has helped ease immediate compliance uncertainty around approved Hormuz transits until 21 August.

Hormuz traffic data signals #MarineTraffic data show 38 confirmed crossings through the monitored Strait of #Hormuz zone on 2 July, a 10% day on day decline. Commercial vessels continued to account for most movements, including 14 laden cargo transits led by crude, CPP and dry bulk, alongside LPG and DPP cargoes. Iranian flagged activity rose sharply to 11 crossings from two the previous day, while nine sanctioned crossings were also observed. Route selection shifted towards the Iranian and Dark or Unknown corridors, as Omani route use weakened.

Strait of Hormuz transit and risk monitor Transit activity in the Strait of Hormuz strengthened over the weekend, with crossings reaching 10 on Saturday and 11 on Sunday, according to #MarineTraffic data. Sanctioned vessels accounted for almost half of Sunday’s movements, highlighting a shift in traffic composition alongside rising volumes. No verified physical attacks or incidents during this period, despite elevated geopolitical rhetoric. While this suggests near term operational stability, evolving political developments may still shape vessel behaviour and risk exposure in the days ahead. Read the latest analysis by Dimitris Ampatzidis, Kpler Senior Risk & Compliance Analyst: Here’s a playback of vessel activity in the Strait of Hormuz over the past two days.

March crossings through Strait of Hormuz led by liquid tankers According to #MarineTraffic and Kpler data, a total of 220 vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz during March across the dry bulk, liquids, LPG and LNG segments. Liquid tankers accounted for 111 crossings, or 51% of the total, followed by 82 dry bulk vessels (37%) and 27 LPG carriers (12%). No LNG crossings were recorded in March. Traffic remained skewed toward west-to-east movements out of the Gulf, which made up 149 crossings, or 68% of the monthly total. East-to-west transits into the Gulf accounted for 71 crossings, or 32%, highlighting an uneven flow pattern through one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints.

Two vessels reportedly seized by the IRGC are both operated by MSC While initial reports suggested they were part of a six-vessel MSC convoy, track analysis conducted by #MarineTraffic analysts indicates it is unlikely they were transiting together with the other four vessels, which exited the area successfully. Instead, the two vessels appear to have followed a different route and were trailing behind the rest. Epaminondas, a chartered 6,690 TEU vessel deployed on the INDUSA service connecting India and the US East Coast, with intermediate calls at Khalifa Port and Jebel Ali, and MSC Francesca (11,336 TEU), operating on the Himalaya Express service linking India, the Persian Gulf, and the Mediterranean, had both been stuck in the Persian Gulf since the start of the conflict.

Gulf feeder links resume as GFS vessels enter the region Three Global Feeder Shipping (GFS) container vessels entered the Gulf between 26 and 28 June, marking the first container ships with commercial links to major carriers to do so since the start of the conflict. According to #MarineTraffic data, GFS Genesis, with a capacity of 4,350 TEU, entered on 26 June after calls at Nhava Sheva and Mundra. She was followed by GFS Precious, a 3,534-TEU vessel, on 27 June after sailing from Sokhna and King Abdullah, and GFS Jade, a 2,452-TEU vessel, on 28 June after departing Karachi and Port Qasim. The vessels appear on schedules linked to Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and MSC, suggesting that major-carrier cargo may once again be moving through feeder-linked Gulf services. The activity reconnects three regional trade lanes — India, the Red Sea and Pakistan — with the clearest potential relevance for the Gemini Cooperation and a possible routing option for MSC.
