Daily maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has collapsed since late February, with data showing a dramatic drop from over 130 ships per day to often fewer than 10 vessels. The decline began sharply on March 1, coinciding with the implementation of a US naval blockade targeting Iranian ports. While traffic has remained extremely low, a brief surge on April 18 to 47 ships occurred during a temporary conditional opening before the IRGC renewed the closure. The figures reflect AIS-confirmed transits and managed corridor movements, with actual counts fluctuating slightly due to vessels operating without AIS.
