When the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed to commercial traffic, 53 container vessels belonging to the world’s top shipping lines found themselves trapped inside the Persian Gulf. Two months on, Kpler’s Container Intelligence data paints a stark picture: 79% are still waiting.
Current situation for container vessels
Of the 53 container vessels initially caught inside when transits became untenable, only nine have successfully exited the Strait. Two of those required a second attempt before making it through. Two MSC vessels were seized by Iranian authorities—the most severe outcome of the crisis. One additional vessel sustained damage after being struck by debris.
That leaves 42 vessels, crews, cargo, and capital in a state of indefinite commercial limbo.
Carrier performance analysis
We track every major carrier’s exposure to this crisis. The data reveals significant variation in outcomes across shipping lines.
CMA CGM: Heaviest absolute exposure
CMA CGM carries the heaviest exposure in absolute terms. With 15 vessels caught inside, the French carrier has managed to extract only two. This represents a 87% entrapment rate for the world’s third-largest container line.
