Middle East tanker transits June 14-20, 2026: Strait of Hormuz 5.4/day, Bab-el-Mandeb Strait 16.7/day

Tanker transits through the Strait of Hormuz would be normal if they were more like 70 per day total, in and out. This would be out of ~138 total transits, which is the normal historical average including also cargo/bulk/etc. vessels as stated in the latest JMIC Update 061.

We are nowhere close to that after Trump's so-called peace deal with Iran.

People who think the world isn't still headed to an oil supply crisis don't know what they're talking about. 

SoH E: 2.6/day; 4.3/day June 18-20 (lol get real)

BAM SE: 7.7/day
