In the 24 hours to 05:31 UTC on 5 November 2026, 21 ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz (6 into the Gulf, 15 out of it), and tankers carried an estimated 0.54 million barrels of oil out through the strait. The Strait of Hormuz Ship Monitor tracks every commercial vessel moving between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman from AIS transponder data collected every 30 minutes. The cards below count detected strait crossings and estimate the oil leaving the Gulf by sea; the tabs further down hold the live map, replays and the ship directory, and the methodology explains how each number is derived.

Units & methodology

Million barrels; the 7-day average and pre-war figures are per day. Each tanker counts as a full cargo. Saudi: published estimate (1-25 Oct 2026, Kpler via Asharq Business), not measured: the tankers loading at Yanbu keep their AIS off. Ship-to-ship: 18 transfers begun in the last 7 days, 6 moving oil already counted above. Exports: 11 tankers left the region in the last 7 days with oil loaded from storage tankers that were never seen leaving the Gulf (only the part not already counted is added); 11 transfers wait for the loaded tanker to sail. Each counts as the smaller tanker's full cargo. How each row is measured: methodology; the pipelines themselves: Can oil bypass the strait?
