An ONC (Operational Navigation Chart) of the Strait of Hormuz depicts a narrow, strategically critical waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. It shows traffic separation schemes, depth soundings, shoals, and navigation aids guiding dense tanker routes through a channel only about 34 km wide. The chart highlights inbound and outbound lanes used by vessels transporting roughly 20% of global oil, emphasizing its importance as a maritime chokepoint.
Recent updates reflect a major 2026 geopolitical crisis. Following conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, shipping traffic has nearly halted, with tanker movements dropping sharply and over a thousand vessels affected or stranded. International Maritime Organization reports attacks on merchant ships, drone and missile threats, and calls for safe evacuation corridors.
Oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel, and global supply chains are disrupted. Some tankers are cautiously resuming transit under high risk and expensive war-insurance coverage, but the situation remains volatile, with continued military tensions and restricted navigation through this vital passage.
