Singapore Strait: ship transits and queues

No commercial ship was counted crossing the Singapore Strait in the 24 hours to Oct 6, 2026, 15:13 UTC: 0 towards the Strait of Malacca (west) and 0 towards the South China Sea (east). 4 were counted in the last 7 days and 334 in the last 30. 25 ships are moving through the passage now and 26 are waiting at its anchorages.

There is not enough history for a baseline yet: counting started on September 23, 2026, and a baseline needs 14 days.

Ships waiting now: 26, against a 14-day median of 102.

Voydar's AIS coverage of the Singapore Strait is thin today, so these counts are far below the real traffic. They show what our receivers see, not the canal's or strait's own figures.

How the transits are counted

Voydar draws a gate line across the Singapore Strait and a 20 km band either side of it. A position counts as being on a side only outside that band, so ferries and harbour craft that work near the line are never counted. A transit is a commercial ship (a valid IMO number; tugs, pilots, law enforcement, pleasure and sailing craft excluded) seen on one side and then on the other within 36 hours. Positions come from AIS feeds Voydar may show (AISstream, BarentsWatch, Digitraffic). Every count is a lower bound: our receivers do not see every ship. Information only, not for navigation.
