This market will resolve according to the 7-day moving average of transit calls (“Arrivals of Ships”) for the Strait of Hormuz that IMF Portwatch reports for April 30, 2026. Transit calls include container, dry bulk, roll-on/roll-off, general cargo, and tanker ships. Ships not reported by IMF Portwatch will not be considered. This market will resolve as soon as data for the specified date has been published. If no data for the specified date has been published by May 14, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve based on data for the most recent date prior to April 30, 2026, for which data is available. This market will resolve based on the first publication of data for April 30, 2026. Any subsequent revisions will not be considered. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. The resolution source for this market will be IMF Portwatch, specifically the transit calls data published for the Strait of Hormuz at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a1730, both in the chart and through downloadable files.Persistent dual naval blockades—U.S. enforcement on Iranian ports since April 13 and Iran's restrictions since April 18 amid the 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis—have collapsed average daily ship transits to 5-21 vessels in late April, cementing trader consensus at 98% for the 0-10 range on this key energy chokepoint. Shipping data from trackers like Windward and Kpler show a 95% drop from pre-conflict norms of 130+, with 42 vessels redirected by U.S. Central Command and uncleared Iranian mines posing ongoing threats per Pentagon estimates requiring six months to neutralize. Stalled ceasefire talks and IRGC warnings to U.S. ships sustain the deadlock. A late diplomatic breakthrough lifting restrictions could shift odds, though no signals indicate imminent de-escalation.
