Strait of Malacca

How far this chokepoint’s ship traffic is from its fixed 2019–22 normal, each week. News volume has not been collected for it yet, so it has no gap.

Ships above normal

Week of 2 November 2026

Ship traffic: 235.9 ships a day, +40% against a normal of 168.3. News volume has not been collected for this chokepoint yet.

Ship transits, % of the 2019–22 normal

Strait of Malacca: ship transits each week from 31 Dec 2018 to 02 Nov 2026. In the latest week, 235.9 a day, +40% against normal. Lowest week: 19 Jul 2021, −22%.

Read with care: Flow stress counts only traffic below normal, so a busier strait scores zero. A lasting shift from the 2019–22 level can reflect a change in tracking coverage as well as in trade.
