See shipping traffic come to a near-standstill through the Strait of Hormuz this weekend

A combination of Iran’s restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz and the US blockade of Iranian ports has caused shipping through the strait to remain virtually nonexistent.

The above tracking data from MarineTraffic shows vessels in and around the strait between Friday and Sunday. The ships represented by red shapes are tankers, while green shapes represent cargo ships and light blue ones are tugs, service or military vessels.
