Executive Summary
The latest data shows that geopolitical tensions continue to weigh heavily on Hormuz shipping volumes, with the strait remaining under sustained pressure and spillover effects visible across UAE and GCC ports. While ship transits through the Strait of Hormuz showed a modest recovery in June 2026 compared with the previous month, overall Gulf maritime activity remains well below pre-conflict levels. The dashboard underscores the vulnerability of critical maritime chokepoints to regional conflict, and its wider implications for global supply chains, energy security, and economic stability - particularly for trade-dependent economies like the UAE.
