This site is not an official source for navigation, trading, or policy decisions. Do not base commercial or operational decisions on anything shown here.

Vessel positions are sourced from the AISStream.io public feed and aggregated once per minute. Satellite AIS coverage near the Strait of Hormuz can be patchy; if our last snapshot is older than 10 minutes the dashboard shows an “AIS signal degraded” warning.

Status classifications (OPEN / CLOSED / RESTRICTED) are produced by an LLM (Google Gemini 2.0 Flash) reading headlines from Reuters, the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and official government channels. Borderline classifications are queued for human review before being published.

We are not affiliated with any government, shipping authority, or news organisation. Source links next to each timeline entry go to the original publication — always verify before acting.
