The New York Times mapped the traffic difference at the Strait of Hormuz, before and after the attacks on Iran.
Every day, around 80 oil and gas tankers typically pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway off Iran’s southern coast that carries a fifth of the world’s oil and a significant amount of natural gas.
On Monday, just two oil and gas tankers appear to have crossed the strait, according to a New York Times analysis of shipping activity from Kpler, an industry data firm. On Tuesday, one tanker passed through.
This uses the same data as the Zeit map, except the NYT comparison with moving dots looks more like an ant farm.
