Confirmed Strait of Hormuz crossings remained elevated on 25 June, with 54 verified transits recorded. Traffic was strongly weighted West to East, with 39 of the 54 crossings moving in that direction, compared with 15 East-to-West movements. The latest crossings included container, general cargo, landing craft, service vessel, special cargo, bulk carrier, crude, LNG, LPG, oil/chemical, chemical, asphalt/bitumen, fertilizer, methanol, ammonia and DPP-related movements, showing broad commercial activity across the Strait.
Of the 54 crossings, 24 followed the Omani Route, 10 followed the IMO Route, 8 followed the Iranian Route, and 9 were classified as Dark/Unknown Route. This points to a wider use of recognised passage patterns, particularly the Omani Route, although the continued Dark/Unknown share means route transparency remains incomplete for part of the latest traffic set.
Five sanctioned vessels were recorded yesterday: ARTABAZ (IMO 9283007) and HALTI (IMO 9212890) moving East to West, and IMPALAS (IMO 9171448), VICTORY ARI (IMO 9290919) and DALIA (IMO 9820324) moving West to East. Energy-linked movements remained visible, including crude, LNG, LPG, chemicals, methanol, ammonia, DPP and fertilizer-related cargoes, indicating that commodity-linked flows continued despite the wider security uncertainty.
The crossing update comes against a more fragile security backdrop. UKMTO reported on 25 June that a cargo vessel was hit on the starboard side by an unknown projectile 7.5 NM southeast of Dahit, Oman, causing damage to the bridge, with no casualties or environmental impact reported. Vessels were advised to transit with caution, and authorities are investigating. The incident has reportedly paused the IMO evacuation plan, but it has not yet been reported through the IMO incident tracker. Against the backdrop of ongoing US-Iran discussions around keeping the Strait open under the 60-day framework, the high crossing count shows that traffic continued on 25 June, but the reported attack adds renewed operational risk and may test confidence in the implementation of maritime security commitments.
