STRAIT OF HORMUZ TRACKER

INTELLIGENCE METHODOLOGY:Fuses live satellite AIS vessel positions with OSINT-sourced intelligence to accurately track "Dark Fleets" operating with transponders off for OPSEC (e.g., the Pakistan-Iran emergency energy convoy). AIS-dark vessels are mathematically dead-reckoned through choke points based on authoritative transit disclosures. Energy flow (mb/d) is assigned by vessel class (VLCC ≈ 2.0, Suezmax ≈ 1.0) and counts both visible commercial traffic and OSINT-verified IRGC-vetted convoys passing the lat 24.5°–27.5°N narrows.
