FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Windward’s latest analysis, issued on 14 May, the Strait of Hormuz remains constrained, opaque, and increasingly managed through selective access. According to Windward, the clearest signal for this is the state of Iranian export infrastructure. Kharg Island showed no active tanker loading for multiple consecutive days, while large tanker queues remained staged nearby. No confirmed crude departures have been observed from Kharg since May 7, and imagery indicates continued repair activity near damaged western infrastructure. Iran appears to be holding export capacity in reserve while attempting to restore loading operations.
