Quick answer — Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz ports now

Of the 30 sites on this list, 6 had at least one event reported or measured nearby in the last 30 days and 24 had nothing in Delta’s sources. 6 distinct events in all. Titles summarise the reporting; they are not facts this page has checked.

Why this list

The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz averaged 20 million barrels per day in 2024, about 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption, and that around one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas trade also transited the strait that year.

The list follows the coasts that load and receive that trade: Iraq and Kuwait at the head of the Gulf, Iran on the north shore, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates on the south shore, and the ports at and beyond the strait in the Emirates and Oman.

A hand-picked sample of the larger seaports and energy terminals in the location registry, not every harbour on these coasts. Ports that are not in the registry are not listed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are events matched to a port on this list?▼
Each port is a point with a 2 km radius. An event is listed when its reporting names a registered facility inside that radius, when it was placed precisely enough to fall inside it, or when it is a measurement linked to a facility there. Events placed only at the level of a city or country are not listed unless they name a facility.
Does “nothing in Delta’s sources” mean the port is operating normally?▼
No. It means no report or measurement linked to that port reached Delta in the window. It is not a statement about the port’s operations or safety.
Are the event titles verified?▼
No. Each title summarises what the reporting said. Each event page lists the articles behind it.
Can I watch this list myself?▼
