The report shows that maritime traffic congestion has occurred in the Gulf of Oman.

According to Golden Ten Data on March 26, the maritime intelligence agency "Windward" stated that during the third week of the war, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains at a standstill, even though some limited vessel movements have been observed. Despite the closure of the strait, there are still 686 ships in the Arabian Gulf. Most of these (400 ships) are located in the Gulf of Oman. Windward indicated that this situation shows "many operators choose to remain stationary outside the Strait of Hormuz rather than immediately undertake long detours." Between March 15 to 22, only 16 vessels with the Automatic Identification System (AIS) enabled were observed crossing the strait. Eight "dark ships" over 290 meters long have been sailing through the strait with their AIS systems switched off.
