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.Trader consensus favors 0-10 ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz daily by late April at 46%, reflecting U.S. Central Command's announcement of a naval blockade of Iranian ports starting April 14 after failed peace talks in Islamabad. Recent daily transits have hovered at 7-17 vessels—mostly Iran-linked—versus pre-war averages of 130-140, hampered by Iranian mines, selective passage permissions, and threats against unauthorized ships despite an April 8 ceasefire. U.S. Navy destroyers transited April 11 to prepare mine-clearing, but tankers are avoiding the chokepoint amid escalation risks, positioning low-volume outcomes as leading while higher bins imply unlikely de-escalation or swift reopening before month-end.
