**Ongoing conflict and enforcement actions have kept Strait of Hormuz commercial transits at minimal levels since the February 2026 escalation, with daily volumes often in the low single digits against a pre-crisis baseline of roughly 85–130 vessels.** High war-risk insurance premiums (around 40 times normal), Iranian assertions of control including vessel blacklists and turn-back orders, and mine threats have deterred most operators, leaving hundreds of ships stranded and prompting widespread rerouting. As of late August 2026, traffic hovered near 3–5 transits on recent tracked days, sustained mainly by limited U.S.-facilitated or dark (AIS-off) movements. Recent developments include Iran-Oman talks on a temporary joint navigation corridor and U.S. Central Command mine-clearing operations in recognized lanes, alongside Iranian demands for compensation before fuller reopening. These factors sustain elevated risks of further disruptions or near-zero days while diplomacy and naval presence shape any recovery trajectory.

Transit calls include container, dry bulk, roll-on/roll-off, general cargo, and tanker ships. Ships not reported by IMF PortWatch will not be considered.
This market will resolve as soon as IMF PortWatch publishes a daily number of transit calls equal to 0, or once complete data has been published for the specified period without such a publication. If complete data for the specified period has not been published within 28 calendar days of the end of the specified period, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point.
In case of obvious data integrity issues (i.e., erroneous data), the market may remain open until the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the date on which such data is first released to allow for corrections. Data integrity issues refer only to clerical or other similar errors in the underlying data, and do not include cases where IMF PortWatch differs from alternative sources. Revisions to previously published data points made within this market’s timeframe will be considered. However, they will not disqualify a previously published data point from qualifying except in the case of data integrity issues.
The resolution source for this market will be IMF PortWatch, specifically the transit calls data published for the Strait of Hormuz at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a1730, both in the chart and through downloadable files.
