https://www.vesselfinder.com/ still looks pretty clogged up to me.

of course 4X1 equals 4 so to quadruple one ship means now there are 4?

Umm - was clear in the portion I posted so, are you ‘teaching’ me that?

And, more importantly, WHO CARES!!?? See reply 8.

And, by the way, it was 8 - but what’s a factor of 2, right?

Again - see post 8.

Also went a took a closer look - didn’t you post this link and use this argument a few weeks ago in response to me?

And same reply - and to be clear I’m not suggesting there’s not a backlog there - but it’s also a natural choke point restricting traffic whether it can freely flow or not, and the density of ships IN YOUR LIKE near the Strait of Hormuz isn’t significantly different USING THE SAME LINK as the density of ships around Jeddah and Baysh, on the other side of the Arabian Peninsula - with NO NATURAL CHOKEPOINT.

Data doesn’t mean squat if there is no context and nothing to compare it to. Saying, “gee, looks like a lot of ships to me,” is meaningless.
