Hormuz Strait shipping tracker

The UN's shipping agency has warned that around 20,000 seafarers remain stranded in the Gulf due to the volatile security situation.

While some Japanese and French-owned vessels have successfully transited the waterway, others have been diverted to China due to payment and security issues.

U.S. intelligence reports suggest that Iran is unlikely to fully reopen the strait anytime soon, as it remains their only real leverage in the conflict.

The disruption continues to impact global energy supplies and supply chains across Asia and Europe.
