Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz appears to be increasing despite Iranian announcements attempting to regulate passage. MarineTraffic data shows at least 50 vessels transited the strait over the past 24 hours, with 39 utilizing the U.S.-recommended traffic separation scheme through Omani waters. The actual number is likely higher, as some vessels continue to transit with their AIS transponders switched off and are not publicly visible. For comparison, 130+ vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on an average day before the conflict.
