Strait of Hormuz Monitor
Strait of Hormuz Wait Times
Queue size and per-vessel dwell time for tankers waiting to transit the Strait of Hormuz, by direction and ship type, measured from AIS-observed anchorage time.
As of Jul 25, 2026, 09:30 AM UTC (roughly day 147 of the Strait of Hormuz disruption that began on 28 February 2026), 3 tankers are waiting on the Persian Gulf side to exit through the strait, versus 3 on the Gulf of Oman side waiting to enter. Among petroleum tankers pinned in the Persian Gulf anchorage queue, the average measured dwell is about 147d 10h, and the longest-waiting vessel has been anchored for roughly 147d 10h. Wait times are derived from AIS-observed anchorage time — pinned to the exact arrival timestamp where available, floored to the 28 Feb crisis onset otherwise — so the figures below are a lower bound on how long tankers have queued to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
| Direction | Tankers waiting | Avg wait | Longest wait | Shortest wait |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Persian Gulf side (waiting to exit) | 3 | 147d 10h | 147d 10h | 147d 10h |
| Gulf of Oman side (waiting to enter) | 3 | 147d 10h | 147d 10h | 147d 10h |
