Stephen Colbert (@StephenAtHome) , @MarineTraffic power user and late night host, is officially coming for my job. Not going to lie I had to do a double take to make sure this was not AI. Turns out Stephen is actually a ship nerd just like us!
@mercoglianos @MarineTraffic If it’s good enough for Sal and Stephen Colbert it’s good enough for anyone!
@MikeSchuler @johnkonrad I can help you with this. @MarineTraffic

Strait of Hormuz traffic drops sharply amid regional escalation Vessel activity in the Strait of Hormuz has shifted materially following recent US strikes on Iran and the subsequent regional escalation. According to real-time traffic analysis, transits through the chokepoint
@StateDept @grok what visa types are impacted?
The spikes in 2013 and 2020 are attributed to the sinking of MOL Comfort (2013) and the large at-sea container collapse of the ONE APUS (2020).
Notably, the 576 containers lost at sea in 2024 represent just 0.0002% of all containers transported.
With the pictures of ZIM Mississippi's container collapse at the Port of Long Beach circulating on social media this morning, it's a good time to share some statistics on containers lost overboard from the World Shipping Council.
In 2024, there was a 160% increase in containers lost overboard reported year-over-year. This increase can be attributed to the 191% surge in transits around the Cape of Good Hope, as vessels continue to reroute away from the BAM Strait due to the threat of Houthi attacks.
Attending grad school directly after college especially at the same college is a terrible idea and a total cash grab by colleges. (Unless required for your degree)
@thesamparr Wildwood, NJ has a program to bring in Europeans to work summer jobs on/off the boardwalk. Every time this tweet makes the rounds I think of the Lithuanian I worked with who let me use his ID to get into my first bar on European night. I was 16 and not European lolll.
I have never met a Pakistan exporter who didn’t tell me they know everyone and have the best rates.
.@MarineTraffic’s platform and data serve numerous commercial use cases, but its hobbyist features are pretty sweet too! Caught the NYC 4th of July fireworks while ship spotting on the Hudson River using real-time augmented reality.

Reports of the Strait of Hormuz being closed and/or ships avoiding it since Israel’s attack on Iran are simply false. Here is a screenshot from MarineTraffic’s enterprise platform.
Time to upgrade to MarineTraffic!
