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.

Hormuz traffic remains muted The latest #MarineTraffic data show traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained subdued over the weekend, with 30 verified crossings between 17 and 19 July and continued variation in route selection. Although no new confirmed attacks were reported during the latest monitoring period, the security environment remains elevated and shipping patterns continue to respond to geopolitical uncertainty. Monitoring daily vessel movements and routing choices remains essential for understanding operational risk and the resilience of global trade flows.

Strait Traffic remains resilient #MarineTraffic data recorded 108 verified vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz between 3 and 5 July, with 43 crossings on 3 July, 34 on 4 July and 31 on 5 July. Traffic was broadly balanced by direction, with 60 East-to-West crossings and 48 West-to-East crossings. Route selection remained fragmented, with 44 vessels using the Iranian Route, 30 using the Omani Route, 10 following the IMO Route and 24 classified as Dark or Unknown. The transits covered a wide range of vessel types, including tankers, container ships, bulk carriers and gas carriers, underscoring that commercial shipping continues to move through the Strait while operators maintain diversified routing strategies amid ongoing geopolitical and maritime security risks.

CMA CGM containership passes Strait of Hormuz A French-owned containership has successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first French-owned vessel to pass through the waterway since hostilities escalated at the end of February. According to #MarineTraffic data, the Malta-flagged CMA CGM Kribi crossed the strait on 2 April after updating her AIS destination twice, first from “CGPNR” to “French Owner” at 12:41 UTC, and then to “Owner France” at 13:18 UTC. The vessel had originally been bound for Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo. The 255-metre container ship, built in 2014 and with a capacity of 5,380 TEU, departed Ghantoot, UAE, on 28 March at 08:59 UTC. The vessel is currently underway using engine and sailing south along the coast of Oman at around 10.3 knots, with a reported draught of 13 metres, indicating she is laden.

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.

Russian tanker diverts course amid US naval presence A sanctioned Russian oil tanker has made three failed attempts to reach Venezuela after a US Navy destroyer blocked its route. According to #MarineTraffic data, the Seahorse departed from the Port of Matanzas in Cuba on November 9 at 8:54 a.m. local time. While sailing toward Venezuela, the vessel made a U-turn on November 14 after altering its course to 160 degrees. According to media reports, the vessel was intercepted by the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Stockdale. The laden tanker made another U-turn on November 16, rejoining its initial route, before being intercepted again in the early hours of November 17, after which it made yet another attempt to continue its voyage. The vessel is currently sailing in the Caribbean at 10 knots with an unknown destination. Watch the playback of the tanker's movements:

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.
