This market will resolve according to the 7-day moving average of transit calls (“Arrivals of Ships”) for the Strait of Hormuz that IMF Portwatch reports for the specified date. 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 data for the specified date has been published. If no data for the specified date has been published by 11:59 PM ET on the seventh day after the end of the specified date, this market will resolve based on data for the most recent date prior to the specified date for which data is available. This market will resolve based on the first publication of data for the specified date. Any subsequent revisions will not be considered. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. The resolution source for this market will be IMF Portwatch, specifically the transit calls data published for the Strait of Hormuz at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a1730, both in the chart and through downloadable files.Trader consensus on Polymarket assigns a 90.5% implied probability to 0-10 ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz on April 3, reflecting the ongoing 2026 crisis where Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps enforcement has collapsed daily volumes from pre-conflict averages of 130+ vessels to around six per day as of March 31, per Clarksons data. This strong positioning stems from sustained attacks on transiting vessels, major carriers suspending operations, and selective Iranian approvals limited mostly to domestic or allied traffic, amplifying global shipping disruptions and oil supply risks. Realistic challenges include a sudden US-brokered ceasefire, multilateral naval intervention, or diplomatic concessions allowing broader passage, though proximity to resolution heightens sensitivity to last-minute escalations.
