AXS Marine: A quick update on vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz in International Shipping News 14/06/2026 AXSMarine AIS-derived data recorded 140 outbound commercial vessel crossings through the Strait of Hormuz between 4 May and 10 June 2026, across Dry Bulk, Tankers, Gas Carriers and Container Ships. Including inbound crossings, the total rises to approximately 220 commercial transits. However, this is not a direct count of vessels assisted by Project Freedom. It includes all observed commercial transits through our defined Strait of Hormuz crossing area, including vessels using IRGC corridor routing, not only those coordinated by the US military. The more important context is the year-on-year comparison. During the same 38-day period in 2025, AXSMarine recorded 2,155 outbound commercial crossings through the Strait of Hormuz, equal to an average of 56.7 outbound crossings per day. On a like-for-like outbound basis, current traffic is therefore running at only 6–7% of year-ago levels. There was a clear spike in outbound crossings in the week immediately after 4 May, reaching the highest weekly total since early April. However, traffic has declined every week since, and the first ten days of June are tracking below both April and March levels. The data suggests that the early-May increase was more consistent with a brief release of pent-up demand after weeks of suppressed traffic, rather than a sustained reopening of the Strait.
