"Normally there is a steady flow of ships through the strait, but when Israel and the United States attacked Iran, many ships docked and traffic stalled on February 28."
"The data comes from Kpler Marine Traffic, which shows ship locations in real-time around the world."
Following military attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran, maritime traffic through a strategic strait experienced a dramatic disruption on February 28. Normally characterized by steady vessel flow, the strait saw ships dock and traffic come to a standstill in response to the escalating tensions. Die Zeit journalists Gregor Aisch and Zacharias Zacharakis documented this disruption using an animated map visualization. The analysis relies on real-time ship location data from Kpler Marine Traffic, a global maritime tracking system that monitors vessel positions worldwide.
