In the last 30 days this site detected 2 crossings of the Strait of Hormuz: 1 out of the Gulf and 1 into it, carrying an estimated 2.09 million barrels of oil out. The latest was out of the Gulf on 17 Oct 2026, 23:58 UTC. Its last reported position, on 23 Oct 2026, 14:53 UTC, was outside the tracked area, giving “SINGAPORE” as its destination.
Crossings in the last 30 days
| Date and time | Direction | Lane | Est. cargo (M bbl) | Gap (h) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 Oct 2026, 23:58 UTC | Outbound out of the Gulf | Unidentified | 2.09 | 96.5 |
| 3 Oct 2026, 12:31 UTC | Inbound into the Gulf | Unidentified | - | 0.5 |
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 · MATELO on MarineTraffic
