MIOC Intelligence Analysis
🌊 HORMUZ TRANSIT ANALYSIS — 28 JUNE 2026
•28 vessels transited inbound and 14 outbound through the Strait of Hormuz on 28 June — 42 total. Strait remains open with no disruption to freedom of navigation.
•Four OFAC-sanctioned vessels transited simultaneously during the 28 June collection window — the highest sanctioned-vessel concentration in a single window this month. One laden tanker exited outbound with crude oil assessed bound for China; three entered inbound.
•A 5-vessel inbound convoy transited via the southern corridor, including a ~336m crude tanker entering the Persian Gulf for the first time since anchoring on 24 February 2026.
•~60 IRGC-class high-speed craft observed across multiple swarms in western Hormuz, all northward-bound — second consecutive day of elevated HSC activity, positioning consistent with patrolling near the Omani-administered southern transit corridor.
▸MIOC assessment: The simultaneous transit of four OFAC-sanctioned vessels in a single collection window represents a marked escalation in open sanctioned-fleet activity; combined with sustained IRGC high-speed craft surges, the strait's operational tempo remains elevated despite the post-ceasefire environment.
⚓ KHARG ISLAND — TRIPLE LOADING ACTIVITY
•An OFAC-sanctioned crude tanker (~330m) confirmed berthed and loading at Kharg Island West terminal at 07:31 UTC on 28 June — vessel went dark during its Gulf approach two days prior.
•Estimated cargo: ~1.5–2.0M bbl Iranian Heavy crude. Established export routing consistent with STS discharge offshore Singapore, a recurrent pattern for this hull class. (Vortexa Data)
•T-Jetty and Eastern terminals simultaneously active; eastern waiting area holds approximately 25–30 tankers, majority dark, consistent with an ongoing export backlog.
•Triple-terminal simultaneous loading (West, T-Jetty, and East active concurrently) is an indicator of peak-throughput operations at Kharg.
▸MIOC assessment: Simultaneous triple-terminal loading at Kharg with a deep dark-vessel waiting queue signals Iran is sustaining peak crude-export pressure; the pattern of dark approach followed by AIS-on loading reflects deliberate concealment of vessel identity during the transit phase.
