Did VLCCs transit the Strait of Hormuz today? Is AIS normal?

Tanker and VLCC transits are continuing under the current SEVERE war-risk band. Expect degraded or spoofed AIS inside the Gulf — GPS interference remains endemic, so a position gap on tracking platforms does not by itself mean a transit has stopped. Cross-check specific ships on the vessel tracker and live incidents on the incident tracker.
