# Hormuz Strait Shipping Monitor ## Sources to check ### Tier 1 - Primary data sources - Web fetch: https://www.ukmto.org/partner-products/jmic-products (JMIC updates) - Web fetch: https://windward.ai/blog/ (Daily maritime intelligence) ### Tier 2 - Iranian sources - Web fetch: https://www.tasnimnews.ir/en/ (search for "Hormuz" or "strait") - Web fetch: https://www.farsnews.ir/en (search for "Hormuz") ### Tier 3 - News & market data - Web search: "Strait of Hormuz shipping traffic today" - Web search: "تنگه هرمز کشتی" (Farsi search for Hormuz shipping) - Web search: "Brent crude oil gold price today" - Web search: "VLCC tanker rate Hormuz insurance today" ## Workflow ### Step 1-3: Data Collection 1. Fetch Tier 1 URLs and extract latest updates 2. Fetch Tier 2 Iranian sources for new articles 3. Run Tier 3 web searches for breaking developments and prices ### Step 4: Log Results Read current MONITOR_LOG.md. Append a new timestamped entry at the bottom. **CRITICAL FORMAT RULES — the website parser depends on exact formatting:** - Price values: plain numbers, NO markdown bold `**`, NO tilde `~`. Example: `$115.27/bbl` not `**~$115.27/bbl**` - VLCC rate: use `K` suffix. Example: `$423K/day` not `$423,000/day` - All summary fields (新事件, 伊朗立场, 西方动态, 外交动态, 保险, Flash触发) MUST be written in Chinese - Keep each summary field to ONE concise sentence (≤80 characters). Put detailed analysis in a sub-bullet if needed. - Do NOT use markdown bold `**` anywhere in field values Entry format: ``` ## [YYYY-MM-DDThh:mmZ] — [NORMAL/ALERT] - Vessel crossings: [number]/day - Status: [open/restricted/closed] - Brent: $[X]/bbl | WTI: $[X]/bbl - Gold: $[X]/oz - TTF Gas: €[X]/MWh - VLCC rate: $[X]K/day - 新事件: [一句话中文摘要] - [详细内容可放子项，英文可接受] - 伊朗立场: [一句话中文摘要] - [详细内容] - 西方动态: [一句话中文摘要] - [详细内容] - 外交动态: [一句话中文摘要] - [详细内容] - 保险: [一句话中文摘要] - [详细内容] - Sources checked: [list] - Flash触发: [无 / 一句话中文描述] - [详细数据对比] ``` Example entry: ``` ## 2026-03-30T17:18Z — ALERT - Vessel crossings: 11/day - Status: restricted - Brent: $115.27/bbl | WTI: $109.58/bbl - Gold: $4,493/oz - TTF Gas: €55/MWh - VLCC rate: $423K/day - 新事件: 航运量回升至11艘/日，两艘中国超大型集装箱船成功通过海峡 - JMIC reports 11 transits/day March 28-29, up from 1-2 previously - CSCL Indian Ocean and CSCL Arctic Ocean transited successfully March 30 - GPS/GNSS/AIS interference significantly reduced - 伊朗立场: 选择性封锁持续，"德黑兰收费站"运营中，否认与美谈判 - IRGC: vetting system operational for approved vessels - FM Araghchi: "Strait open, but closed to our enemies" - Parliament advancing legislation to formalize fees - 西方动态: 联军分裂，美军事行动持续，Trump延期至4月6日 - 22 nations condemn Iran's attacks; CENTCOM mine-laying prevention ongoing - UAE announced willingness to join multinational naval force - UK considering deploying mine-clearing vessel - 外交动态: 巴基斯坦四方会谈进行中，间接谈判僵局未破 - Pakistan hosts Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia meeting March 29-30 - US 15-point ceasefire proposal via Pakistan mediator - Iran submitted 5-point counter-proposal (war reparations, sovereignty) - 保险: 战争险保费涨20-50倍，P&I保险暂停，劳合社扩大冲突区范围 - War risk premiums 4-10% of vessel value per voyage (vs 0.2-0.5% pre-crisis) - International Group of P&I Clubs suspended standard cover Mar 5 - Sources checked: JMIC, Tasnim, Fars, Windward, CNBC, Trading Economics - Flash触发: 通行量增幅>50%（11艘 vs 此前4-7艘） - Oil: $115.27 vs prior $116.18 = -0.8% (not >5%) - Vessels: 11/day vs prior 4-7/day = 57-175% increase - No ceasefire/breakthrough ``` ### Step 5: Trim Old Entries If MONITOR_LOG.md has entries older than 7 days, remove them. ### Step 6: Flash Alert Check - Oil moved >5% since last entry? → FLASH - Vessel count changed >50%? → FLASH - Ceasefire/breakthrough/major attack detected? → FLASH - Brent crossed $100 or $75? → FLASH If FLASH: send immediate alert. If no FLASH: send brief summary. ### Step 7: Update Website Data After writing MONITOR_LOG.md, run this command to update the website: exec command: bash ~/hormuz-website/scripts/update_and_deploy.sh This parses MONITOR_LOG.md into data.json and pushes to GitHub. Vercel auto-deploys on push. If the script fails, log the error but do not retry — the website will show the previous data until next cycle. ## Alert format 🚢 **Hormuz Monitor Update** [timestamp] - **通行量:** [number]艘/日 - **状态:** [通航/受限/关闭] - **Brent:** $[X] | **Gold:** $[X] | **VLCC日租:** $[X]K - **新事件:** [摘要] - **伊朗立场:** [摘要] - **西方动态:** [摘要] - **保险:** [状态] - **数据源:** [list]
