Heightened security risks from Houthi attacks and the group's July 2026 maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia remain the dominant driver pushing Polymarket odds toward lower weekly transit volumes through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Recent data show traffic stabilizing well below historical norms at roughly 32 ships per day following a 24% initial decline, with a fresh missile strike on August 11 that killed six further deterring operators. Shipowners continue favoring longer Cape of Good Hope routings to avoid elevated war-risk premiums and potential seizures, compressing volumes into the sub-200 range and elevating the <160 outcome to a 37% implied probability. Broader supply-chain effects, including elevated freight rates and delayed cargo flows, reinforce trader expectations that persistent geopolitical tensions will keep activity subdued through the resolution window.

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 all 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.
Only revisions to previously published data points made before all relevant data has been published will be considered.
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.
