Declared destinations are typed in by the crew, so they can be abbreviated port codes (such as AEFJR for Fujairah), out of date or wrong. We read this one as a broadcast message (heading for scrapping) rather than a port: see what ships are broadcasting. A flag shows where a ship is registered, not who owns it.
This ship was already stationary when our waiting-time tracking began on 30 September 2026, so its real wait is probably longer. Not every stationary ship is stranded: some are loading, discharging or refuelling.
Strait of Hormuz crossings by HERO SD
All crossings →0 inbound (westbound, into the Gulf) and 1 outbound (eastbound, to the Gulf of Oman), newest first.
| Time (UTC) | Ship | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| est. | HERO SD150 m | → Outbound |
When a ship reappears on the other side of the counting line after an AIS gap of more than 72 hours, we did not see it cross, so that crossing is listed but not counted in our daily totals. One crossing above is in that category: (outbound).
Rows marked "est." were reconstructed with an earlier tracking method rather than detected live.
