Vessels calling at Assaluyeh in Iran operate in the most strategically contested maritime chokepoint in the world. Roughly one-third of seaborne oil transits the Strait of Hormuz adjacent to the port, and the Joint War Committee maintains listed-area designations covering this waterway. Iran's IRGCN has a documented history of detaining foreign-flagged tankers here, and drone and missile strikes on commercial shipping have become a recurring feature since 2019. Beyond kinetic threats, extreme heat, sandstorms, and a congested traffic separation scheme add operational complexity. Sanctions screening for any vessel with Iranian-trade exposure is mandatory — ArcNautical cross-references ownership chains against OFAC, UN, and EU lists before a voyage is committed.
Routed sea distances from Assaluyeh to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.
Assaluyeh falls under the Indian Ocean MoU. The Indian Ocean Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a public bulk detention feed. PSC inspection regimes across India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Maldives, Mauritius, Iran, and the African Indian Ocean states vary in rigour. ArcNautical evaluates vessel-level detention probability using flag performance, age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity signals.
No port calls were observed at Assaluyeh between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026. This reflects the reach of the terrestrial AIS network behind this page — coverage is densest in Northwest Europe and thins elsewhere — and is not a statement about traffic at Assaluyeh. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.
