Ask about the route, not the database.
Every answer comes from a published source and says which one. Where no published source answers, it says that instead of guessing — which is the only way a figure here is worth anything.
What has moved
as at 2026-08-30
The three series where the past week sits furthest from the past quarter. Not everything we hold — the platforms that hand you everything are the reason this one exists.
Bosporus Strait
transits/day · 30 Aug 2026
47
365 daily readings, drawn as a 7-day rolling mean · IMF PortWatch / ECB
Over the past week Bosporus Strait has averaged 60.3 transits/day, 23% below its 90-day average of 78.5, and 38% below the same week last year. Fewer ships through a strait means the traffic has gone somewhere else, and that capacity has to come from somewhere.
Bab el-Mandeb Strait
transits/day · 30 Aug 2026
29
365 daily readings, drawn as a 7-day rolling mean · IMF PortWatch / ECB
Over the past week Bab el-Mandeb Strait has averaged 29.3 transits/day, 16% below its 90-day average of 34.7, and 21% below the same week last year. Fewer ships through a strait means the traffic has gone somewhere else, and that capacity has to come from somewhere.
Euro against the lira
EUR/TRY · 4 Sept 2026
56.2995
85 daily readings, drawn as recorded · IMF PortWatch / ECB
Over the past week Euro against the lira has averaged 56.0666 EUR/TRY, 4% above its 90-day average of 54.0815. For anybody with costs on one side of that pair and sales on the other, this is the margin.

What it will not do: name a supplier. Who ships what is not published here and will not be. When a buyer wants an introduction, a person arranges it and the supplier decides whether to accept — which is a slower answer than a database gives, and the only one either side has agreed to.
