Over the last 24 hours, commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has remained steady despite continued regional tensions. Based on visible automatic identification system (AIS) data from roughly two-thirds of transiting vessels continued to use the Iranian (northern) traffic separation scheme, while the remaining traffic utilized the Omani (southern) route. Traffic remains below pre-conflict norms, and the true number of transits is likely higher than visible due to some vessels continuing to disable AIS while crossing the Strait.
