Strait of Hormuz transit crossings surge 66% on June 30 amid uneven confidence
Confirmed crossings through the Strait of Hormuz rose 66% on 30 June, with 40 verified transits recorded. Commercial movements dominated at 28 crossings, with east-west direction accounting for 23 transits versus 17 west-east. Operators continue avoiding the IMO-recommended framework, with the Iranian Route recording 16 crossings and the Dark/Unknown Route 12, reflecting persistent uncertainty despite no new IMO-verified attacks since 27 June.
