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

Eagle does not track vessel positions or count transits, so it cannot say whether VLCCs transited today. The current war-risk band is SEVERE, from 45 wire signals in the last 24 hours. For transit status, check UKMTO and JMIC advisories and a commercial AIS provider. GPS interference inside the Gulf remains endemic, so a position gap on tracking platforms does not by itself mean a transit has stopped. See ships named in recent reporting on the vessels-in-the-news page and live incidents on the incident tracker.
