Recent Houthi maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia, announced in late July 2026 amid broader regional tensions including the Iran-US conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruptions, has driven a 15-24% drop in Bab el-Mandeb transits to roughly 266-273 weekly passages, or about 38 daily on average in early August data. A fresh attack on the merchant ship Tihamah in mid-August has reinforced risk aversion, prompting further rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope and suppressing mainstream tanker volumes by over 40%. These developments position sub-25 daily averages as the leading outcome in Polymarket pricing, reflecting trader consensus on persistent security premia and cautious shipping patterns through month-end. Elevated insurance costs and naval alliance responses add downside pressure while leaving room for modest stabilization above 25 if threats ease.

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 the relevant data has been published. If the relevant data is not published within 14 calendar days of the specified date, this market will resolve based on the most recent data published up to that point.
In case of obvious data integrity issues (i.e., erroneous data), the market may remain open until the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the date on which such data is first released to allow for corrections. Data integrity issues refer only to clerical or other similar errors in the underlying data, and do not include cases where IMF Portwatch differs from alternative sources.
The resolution source for this market will be IMF PortWatch, specifically the “Arrivals of Ships” data published for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/6b1814d64903461b98144a6cc25eb79c.
