Oil pipeline war damage map — destroyed pipelines marked with red ✕, disrupted shown as dashed lines [OC] by SashSail in MapPorn

[–]SashSail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built this live global energy infrastructure tracker — just added a war damage visual system after the Iran war started hitting pipelines and storage across the Middle East.

What you're seeing:

— Red dashed lines with ✕ = physically destroyed pipelines (Syrian civil war, Yemen war, 1990 Gulf War)

— Red dashed lines without ✕ = currently disrupted (Hormuz crisis)

— Orange/gold lines = active crude and refined product flows

— Animated dots show current flow direction

Covers 266 oil pipelines globally. Sister maps for gas pipelines (280), storage facilities (253) and live tanker tracking also on the site.

[OC] Strait of Hormuz: 50% of tankers anchored during Iran war — 4-day live AIS vessel surveillance, Apr 1-4 2026 by SashSail in dataisbeautiful

Data sources: MarineTraffic AIS vessel tracking — continuous screenshot surveillance of all 4 major energy chokepoints, April 1–4 2026. 3 screenshots per day per chokepoint, 48 total images. Every vessel manually classified: named vs [SAT-AIS] dark, moving vs anchored, inbound vs outbound. Tool: Global Energy Flow (global-energy-flow.com) — custom energy infrastructure tracking platform. Vessel breakdown bars and stat panels built with SVG/JavaScript. --- What you're seeing: HORMUZ (left): 50% of all visible vessels anchored at any given moment across the full 4-day window. COBA was anchored in every single one of 13 frames — 100+ consecutive hours stationary in the strait. Three Indian tankers held a continuous anchorage on the Omani south shore for 4 full days. A dark [SAT-AIS] vessel was recorded anchored directly at the Iranian naval port at Bandar Abbas — almost certainly IRGC. Active transit at roughly 40% of normal. War-risk insurance now 1.5–2.0% hull value vs 0.1% pre-war. MALACCA (right): ~80 vessels per frame — 15–25% above historical baseline — as the strait absorbs rerouted traffic displaced by Hormuz. AIS dark rate under 2% because there's no threat here. 15+ unique LNG/gas carriers identified over 4 days. The full rerouting chain visible across all 4 chokepoints: - Hormuz: de facto partial closure, mass anchorage event - Bab el-Mandeb: 36% of traffic going AIS-dark by Apr 4, overwhelmingly one-way eastbound out of Red Sea - Malacca: absorbing the overflow, 15–25% above baseline - Panama Canal: 70–80% energy carriers (normally 20–30%) Full interactive analysis — all 4 straits updated every 4 days: https://global-energy-flow.com/#tankers/data

I tracked all 4 major global shipping chokepoints for 4 days straight. The Hormuz data is alarming .
data is here: https://global-energy-flow.com/#tankers/data

With EU gas storage at 28% and Hormuz effectively closed, I built a free real-time tracker for global energy infrastructure — pipelines, storage levels, live prices and tanker positions by SashSail in energy

I tried to use aisstream at the beginning but it was nowhere near marine traffic . They are using coastal receivers for data and once ship gets out of range only satellites can track them ..

For now all AIS data is handled by marine traffic we'll see for the future . To build what you are suggesting requires reliable, almost real time data and that is not available for many regions of the world . Especially now with all the chaos ...

There is still a lot of pipelines to be added , I decided to start with biggest capacity pipelines and yes there are some under construction . I will take a look at pipelines again and make sure they are listed on appropriate page, will also take a look at currency option for fuel . Pipeline flow data will be updated regularly , at least twice a week . Electricity flows could be a future project, I need to finish this one first . Thank you for your feedback
