Hormuz Strait Monitor is an independent, open-source intelligence (OSINT) initiative providing real-time maritime domain awareness for the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints.
In an era of increasing geopolitical volatility, accurate and timely information is essential for analysts, researchers, journalists, and maritime stakeholders. This platform aggregates publicly available data to present a comprehensive, neutral, and continuously updated picture of maritime activity in the region.
Our platform integrates multiple layers of open-source information:
All information displayed on Hormuz Strait Monitor is sourced exclusively from publicly accessible platforms and feeds. We do not generate original intelligence, nor do we have access to classified or proprietary data.
Our methodology is grounded in OSINT principles: aggregation, visualization, and contextualization of information already available in the public domain. We do not verify, alter, or interpret data beyond its original presentation.
Hormuz Strait Monitor is not affiliated with any government, military organization, intelligence agency, or commercial entity. We do not advocate for any political position, nor do we provide strategic or policy recommendations.
The platform exists solely as a public information resource. Our editorial choices are limited to selecting which publicly available data streams to display — nothing more.
Users should be aware of inherent limitations in open-source maritime data:
This platform is provided "as is" for informational purposes only. We make no warranties regarding accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.

Hormuz Strait Monitor was established in April 2026 as a public information resource during a period of heightened international focus on maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.
