Confirmed Strait of Hormuz crossings remained active over the weekend, with 108 verified transits recorded between 3 July and 5 July. Activity was highest on Friday, with 43 crossings on 3 July, followed by 34 crossings on 4 July and 31 crossings on 5 July.
Directionally, traffic was slightly weighted East to West, with 60 crossings moving East to West and 48 moving West to East. Included container, general cargo, tug, landing craft, bulk carrier, crude, LNG, LPG, oil products, oil/chemical, chemical, asphalt/bitumen, fertilizer, methanol, ammonia, CPP, DPP and dry bulk movements, showing continued commercial and support activity through the Strait.

The continued spread across Iranian, Omani, IMO and Dark/Unknown routes shows that traffic remained operational but fragmented across multiple passage patterns.
Sanctioned vessel activity was also visible across the weekend, with 11 sanctioned crossings recorded between 3 July and 5 July. These included bulk carrier, container, crude, LPG, oil product, oil/chemical and asphalt/bitumen tanker movements. Energy-linked flows remained material, including crude, CPP, DPP, LPG, LNG, chemicals, methanol, ammonia and fertilizer-related cargoes.
The weekend crossing pattern should be read alongside the still-fragile security and diplomatic backdrop. After the IMO-confirmed attacks in late June, including EVER LOVELY on 25 June and KIKU on 27 June, the Strait continued to see high levels of verified traffic, but the operating enviro
