Commercial shipping visible via indicates traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains extremely limited. Over the past 24 hours, fewer than five merchant vessels have completed the transit, all via the Iranian (northern) traffic separation scheme, following yesterday's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC-N) declaration that the Strait is closed. It is likely the actual number of transits is somewhat higher, as some vessels are operating with their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders disabled and therefore do not appear in publicly available tracking data.
