Strait of Hormuz traffic in November 2026
So far in November 2026 (1 to 15 November 2026, UTC), hormuz.now has recorded 104 AIS-visible commercial ship crossings of the Strait of Hormuz: 50 inbound (westbound, into the Gulf) and 54 outbound (eastbound, to the Gulf of Oman), 36 of them by tankers. Over the 14 complete days, the average was 7.2 a day, about 9% of the pre-crisis baseline of 84.8 a day. IMF PortWatch recorded 28 transits on the 8 of those days it has published.
This month is still in progress. The figures cover 1 to 15 November 2026 (UTC), and today's count is partial; they grow as ships cross. For the rolling last 24 hours, see Strait of Hormuz traffic today.

On the 8 days with an IMF PortWatch figure, PortWatch recorded 28 transits and hormuz.now 61 crossings. PortWatch publishes several days late (latest: 8 November 2026), so the latest days have no figure yet. The two count different things: why counts differ between sources.

Days run 00:00–24:00 UTC. We count commercial ships (cargo ships and tankers of 80 m or more) with AIS switched on, at most once per direction per day, so a ship that crosses on two days is counted on each. Ships that switch off AIS are not counted. The IMF PortWatch total covers only the days it has published. How we count.
