90-Day Status

Open
Selective
Claimed Open
Closed

Daily AIS-derived vessel crossings through the Strait of Hormuz, shown from the latest PortWatch-published data rather than implied same-day traffic.

Latest Published -- Awaiting data
Upstream Lag -- Awaiting data
7-Day Avg -- Rolling mean
90-Day Peak -- Awaiting data

Source: IMF PortWatch. Upstream publication can lag or revise, so this chart reflects the latest published counts, not inferred live traffic.

Shadow Crossings

Publicly reported AIS-dark, spoofed, or low-visibility passages over the same 90-day window. This is a sourced shadow log, not a full census of hidden traffic.

Latest Report -- Awaiting data
90-Day Total -- Reported vessels / passages
Active Days -- Awaiting data
Peak Day -- Awaiting data

Reported cases shown here come from public Reuters/AP-style reporting. Zero bars mean no logged report on that day, not proof that no hidden traffic moved.
