Live ship traffic through the world’s key straits and canals

StraitTraffic turns raw AIS signals into clear statistics for maritime chokepoints: how many ships are in each strait right now, how many completed a transit in the last 24 hours, and whether that is a normal level of traffic.

What the numbers mean

In zone now — vessels transmitting AIS inside the monitored strait zone in the last 30 minutes.
Transits, 24 h — vessels that entered the zone from one side and left it on the other side during the last 24 hours. A ship that turns back is not counted.
Status — the last 24 hours compared with the strait’s own 7-day or 30-day average. While history is short the status reads “Not enough data yet” rather than guessing.
