Strait of Hormuz traffic holds steady amid fragmented routing
The Strait of Hormuz remained open and active on 30 June, with 34 verified crossings recorded, according to #
MarineTraffic# data. Traffic was evenly split by direction, with 17 crossings each way, and included a broad mix of commercial, energy-linked and support vessels. Route visibility, however, remained fragmented, with vessels using Iranian, Omani, IMO and Dark or Unknown routes.
The pattern points to continued operational flow through the chokepoint, but not yet a settled return to normal routing. Maritime-security concerns also remain elevated, with the IMO incident tracker now listing 49 confirmed regional incidents, including a newly confirmed physical attack on Bochem Marengo.
