Chart of the Week: Strait of Hormuz shipments  

As the war in Iran enters its 105th day, our Chart of the Week highlights that the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed for business. While traffic has plummeted from pre-war levels, a fraction of vessels continue to navigate the chokepoint. Deeper analysis reveals that successful transits rely on specific advantages. The majority of ships that have been able to traverse the Strait have operators domiciled in China, Hong Kong, Greece, UAE, Pakistan, India, and Iran. Other ships have transited by “sailing dark”  with disabled Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders and/or seeking U.S. military guidance along the Omani side of the Strait.
