Crossings in the last 30 days

Date and timeDirectionLaneEst. cargo (M bbl)Gap (h)
19 Oct 2026, 09:01 UTC Inbound into the Gulf Iran lane - 7.5
30 Sep 2026, 13:01 UTC Outbound out of the Gulf Iran lane 0.36 7.5

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.
