Graphic from the @kpler team (h/t 'Super Flo' aka Florian Grünberger) depicting the share of global seaborne commodity flows transiting the Strait of Hormuz in 2025 (imports + exports).

The Kpler graphic shared in the post reveals that the Strait of Hormuz handles 31% of global seaborne crude oil exports, but also 33% of fertilizers and 32% of methanol, illustrating the chokepoint's critical role in non-oil commodity trade for 2025.

Beyond energy, 23% of NGLs (including LPG), 19% of LNG, and 17-24% of minerals transit the strait, exposing global supply chains to geopolitical risks in the Persian Gulf region.
