🚢Claims about Hormuz reopening are exactly why we built this:
If ships start moving through the Strait with AIS transponders on, you’ll see it in the index — updated every 30 minutes alongside Suez, Bab al-Mandeb and Panama.

🚢A two-week US-Iran ceasefire is now contingent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The test of whether the deal is real isn't in the headlines — it's in vessel transits. @TheTerminal's WSL SHIPPING<GO> data shows traffic collapsed from ~100/day to ~4/day after February 28. That's a 96% drop in six weeks.
A genuine reopening should show up here relatively soon — assuming vessels keep their AIS transponders on, which many have been running dark through the crisis.
