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.show more

Resilient yet still only at about 30% pre war normal. The question is for how long will this be the new normal?

You couldn't have "verified" transits when AIS is a voluntary emission, and it has been known to be manipulated. But you wouldn't want to admit your main bread and butter AIS data has deep flaws.

108 transits in 3 days proves the Strait of Hormuz remains the indispensable jugular vein of global energy. The real story here is the operational friction: 24 "Dark" vessels and fragmented routing show how heavily operators are pricing in risk. Crude is flowing, but this tactical maneuvering is exactly what keeps a structural floor under oil prices and a premium on shipping insurance. Watch that shadow fleet percentage

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.

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.

Hormuz traffic reaches three week low MarineTraffic data indicate confirmed crossings through the monitored Strait of Hormuz zone fell to eight on 16 July, down from 15 a day earlier and marking a three week low. Seven of the eight transits followed the Iranian route, with no crossings via the Omani route and no shadow fleet movements recorded. Traffic was evenly split between commercial and non commercial vessels, while half of all crossings were Iranian flagged. The latest data reflect a continued decline in vessel activity, reinforcing signs of a more selective operating environment across one of the world's busiest maritime chokepoints. Read more here:

Hormuz traffic hits five #MarineTraffic data highlights sharply contrasting trends across the region's main maritime chokepoints on 30 July. Strait of Hormuz crossings fell to five from 22 the previous day, a 77% decline. All five vessels used the Iranian Unilateral Scheme, while no Hormuz TSS or Route Undetermined transits were recorded. Bab el Mandeb remained comparatively active with 47 crossings, including 27 vessels entering the Red Sea and 20 exiting. The dataset also identified four sanctioned vessel transits, eight shadow fleet crossings and one AIS dark transit. The figures suggest that while traffic continues through both corridors, routing patterns and operational risk remain closely linked to the evolving regional security environment.

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.

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.

Hormuz crossings fall by half as Bab el-Mandeb traffic holds steady Vessel activity through the Strait of Hormuz declined sharply on 31 August, with five confirmed crossings, down 50% from 10 the previous day, according to #MarineTraffic data. Four vessels entered the Middle East Gulf, while one exited. The crossings followed a mix of Iranian, Omani and negotiated routes and included two shadow-fleet vessels and one sanctioned vessel. This figure remains preliminary, as “dark” crossings may be retrospectively identified and added as new confirmation data becomes available. By contrast, activity through Bab el-Mandeb remained broadly stable, with 35 confirmed crossings, up 2.9% day-on-day. Nineteen vessels entered the Red Sea and 16 exited, with no dark transits or new IMO-confirmed attacks recorded.

Bab el-Mandeb traffic rose from 25 to 34, including 18 vessels entering the Red Sea and 16 exiting. Yet four dark transits, two sanctioned crossings and six shadow fleet movements indicate that visibility, routing concentration and compliance exposure remain central concerns.

Strait of Hormuz | Daily Vessel Crossings As of 30 April, Hormuz crossings halved d/d to seven transits, split between four commercial and three non-commercial movements, with direction broadly balanced at four west-to-east versus three east-to-west. Only two laden west-to-east crossings were recorded, under Pakistani and Comoros flags carrying CPP and dry bulk, while higher-risk tonnage remained limited with just three shadow or sanctioned vessels observed and the rest assessed low-risk. No new physical attacks have been recorded since 22 April as the ceasefire holds, and with permissive passages continuing, most vessels are still using the IMO-regulated traffic separation scheme to reduce collision risk. Stay ahead of market-moving risks with #Kpler’s Risk & Compliance tracker.

Traffic diverges across chokepoints Maritime traffic trends diverged sharply across the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb. Hormuz crossings fell 28% to 77, with laden voyages declining from 45 to 33. Sanctioned and shadow fleet crossings dropped from 50 to 23, while 40 transits remained Route Undetermined and 32 used Iran’s unilateral scheme. Bab el-Mandeb moved in the opposite direction. Crossings recovered 9.7% to 248 and laden traffic rose from 103 to 109. Dark transits held near 23 and TSS adherence remained around 91%. The data points to growing pressure on Gulf shipping, while Red Sea traffic continues to show greater operational resilience.
