Todays situation in the Strait of Hormuz. After the 9 Iranian-allied tankers crossed this happened.

Shortly after the TOUSKA incident, laden container ship ARTABAZ IMO: 9283007 turned off engine and is drifting in the Arabian sea.

Will be interesting to see if DELRUBA IMO: 9305207 will be treated the same way as TOUSKA

Update , CESI and BASEL made it out last night.

Hilda has not transmitted in almost 24 hours. Something tells me she is not at her last known position anymore.

That concludes todays blockade. SHAMIM IMO: 9270658 partially laden container ship ARTMAN IMO: 9405930 laden bulk carrier TOUSKA IMO: 9328900 laden container ship

And ARTMAN just got intercepted right on the blockade line

The Iran situation has been souring more and more the past 24 hours. The ceasefire might not last the entire lenght, let alone hopes for new talks. In addition to what is happening at sea, the air traffic between Iran and China stopped this morning. Prior to that there were multiple aircraft going to or from China almost non stop. I think the Iranians are expecting even more escalation and dont want to be in foreign airspace when it happens.

In addition SHAMIM IMO: 9270658 got intercepted and very soon ARTMAN IMO: 9405930 is going to have a call on channel 16 I guess.

And thats all she wrote....turned off AIS 20 minutes ago doing 16 knots, but she can do 23 and I bet you thats what shes doing right now.

Todays cruise ship Hormuz run contender: AROYA IMO: 9733117. The cruise line Jeddah - SPA "officially launched its inaugural season in the Arabian Gulf. Running from February 21 to May 8, the season marks a milestone in regional tourism by blending authentic Saudi hospitality with international maritime standards". - alriyadhdaily Sadly I think cruise tourism in the Persian Gulf has taken a beating for the long term. I think they will have to focus on the Red sea and Mediterranean.

E10E3 92-3288 Did a MEDEVAC roundtrip from Ramstein to Akrotiri yesterday. Only a short stop before it returned. I learned this callsign meaning from @vcdgf555 recently

Wing of Zion , Israel presidential plane

I think that ship in the middle is her x.com/AtlasObserver/…

I guess you dont get a bigger FU than this. HILDA 1 IMO: 9357389 sanctioned Iranian tanker laden with crude oil from Kharg island taking her time sailing towards the Strait of Hormuz.

After USA Today published pictures of some meager meals on the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli Dvids rushed to prove them wrong. dvidshub.net/image/9623887/…
