Real-time monitoring of shipping conditions in the Hormuz Strait, oil transportation data, and geopolitical risk, helping energy analysts, financial researchers, and shipping professionals quickly assess how Middle East shipping risks affect global energy markets.

Use Cases


  • Energy Market Analysis — Track the impact of disruptions in Hormuz Strait transport on Brent crude oil prices, monitor changes in the war-risk premium, and assess how oil supply risk influences trading decisions.

  • Shipping Insurance Assessment — Check real-time insurance risk ratings, war-risk premium multipliers, and comparisons with normal rates, providing risk pricing references for shipping companies, insurers, and traders.

  • Geopolitical Risk Monitoring — Monitor Middle East diplomatic developments, crisis timelines, and global trade impacts, enabling timely responses to sudden events such as strait closures and sanctions escalations.

    • Core Features


  • Strait Status Monitoring — Retrieve the Hormuz Strait’s real-time status (OPEN / RESTRICTED / CLOSED), current duration, and status description to quickly determine whether shipping operations are normal.

  • Shipping Data Tracking — View the number of tankers currently transiting, total transport volume over the past 24 hours, percentage versus normal levels, and statistics on vessels detained, to fully understand shipping capacity conditions.

  • Risk and Impact Analysis — Get oil price changes, insurance risk rating, war-risk premium multiplier, the proportion of global trade affected, and estimated daily costs to evaluate the real-world impact on energy supply chains.

    • FAQs

    Is the Hormuz Strait open right now?


    This skill retrieves data in real time from the Hormuz Strait Monitor dashboard API, allowing you to query the current strait status. Statuses include OPEN, RESTRICTED, and CLOSED, along with the duration and detailed description. If the API request fails, it’s recommended to visit https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com to view the dashboard directly.

    How much does a closure of the Hormuz Strait affect oil prices?


    This skill provides Brent crude oil price data and 24-hour change figures, including trend descriptions (rising/falling/stable). It also shows global trade impact, including the share of world oil under risk and estimated daily costs (in billions of dollars). Historical data indicates that a complete closure of the Hormuz Strait could cause a significant rise in oil prices, because this strait accounts for roughly 20–30% of global oil transportation.

    What is the data source for this skill?


    Data comes from the Hormuz Strait Monitor public dashboard API (https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com/api/dashboard) and can be accessed without authentication. The API response includes strait status, vessel counts, oil prices, detained vessels, insurance risk, cargo throughput, diplomatic status, global trade impact, crisis timelines, and the latest news. Data may be delayed—please pay attention to the timestamps when using it.
