Why this matters

The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most strategically important oil transit chokepoint. Roughly 20% of global oil consumption and a quarter of LNG trade passes through this 21-mile-wide passage every day.

Disruptions — military, political, or weather-driven — can move global energy prices within hours. Monitoring tanker density, transit speed, and AIS reliability gives an early read on stress in the system before it reaches headlines.
