Major seaborne crude routes (arrow width ∝ volume) and the world's key oil chokepoints, sized by the petroleum-liquids volume that transits each (EIA estimates, ~2023). Arrows show direction and rough scale — not actual routed sea-lanes. Roughly a third of all seaborne oil passes the Strait of Hormuz.
Live ship positions are streamed from VesselFinder's public AIS map. It shows all vessel types in view (tankers, bulkers, containers) — pan/zoom to the Persian Gulf, Suez, Malacca or any coast. Per-cargo origin → destination crude routes are a commercial product (Kpler / Vortexa) and are not shown here; for aggregate seaborne-oil flows and chokepoint shares see the methodology notes and EIA chokepoint data.
