Date and timeDirectionLaneEst. cargo (M bbl)Gap (h)
25 Oct 2026, 02:17 UTC Outbound out of the Gulf Unidentified 2.21 184.0
17 Oct 2026, 02:23 UTC Inbound into the Gulf Unidentified - 202.0

Outbound means from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. The lane is the side of the strait the ship kept to: the Oman lane along Musandam or the Iran lane near the Iranian islands (see the map). Estimated cargo is deadweight × 95% × 7.33 barrels per tonne, for outbound oil tankers only. The gap is the hours between the last position on one side and the first on the other; a long gap means the ship was dark or out of coverage while it crossed.

Crossings are detected from AIS positions collected every 30 minutes; a ship with its transponder off can cross unseen, so treat the list as a lower bound (methodology). More: all tankers that crossed in the last 30 days · this month's statistics · EMERALD SHINE on MarineTraffic
