Corridor Map

Strait of Hormuz · where the transit happens

Real geography, real figures. The map shows the actual Strait of Hormuz and its shipping lanes; the transit figures below are published EIA statistics. The animated lane flow is a schematic of the traffic-separation scheme, not individual vessels — free terrestrial AIS has no receiver coverage over the Gulf, so live per-vessel tracks would require a paid satellite-AIS provider.
