# Hormuz Strait transits

> How many ships are passing through the world's most sensitive oil chokepoint.

## OBSERVATION
(no observation yet) — observed at n/a.

## DELTA VS BASELINE
n/a vs (Trailing 30-day mean).

## METHODOLOGY
- Source: AISStream.io (Phase 1: sample-only via Vercel cron)
- Cadence: Daily
- Sensors / APIs: AISStream WebSocket (sample-poll Phase 1)
- AOI: Strait of Hormuz polygon — 26.5°N to 26.7°N, 56.0°E to 56.5°E
- Baseline method: Trailing 30-day mean

## UNCERTAINTY
Phase 1 sample-only ingest = ±10% count fidelity vs persistent WebSocket (Phase 1 sample-only ingest = ±10% count fidelity vs persistent WebSocket)

## TRANSLATION (Casual EN)
The *Strait of Hormuz* — corridor between Iran and Oman — carries ~20% of global oil daily. Sharp drops in transits often signal geopolitical tension before it hits the news. Data from *AIS* — the public broadcast every ship transmits with its position.
