About This Project

GulfStraitsAI

Open-source maritime risk intelligence for the Gulf and Strait regions.

What It Is

GulfStraitsAI aggregates maritime security data across five critical chokepoints: the Strait of Hormuz, Bab-el-Mandeb, Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Gulf of Oman.

Data is pulled every 15 minutes from authoritative sources — including official US Navy / NGA maritime advisories (ASAMs), newswires, and specialist maritime publications. AI is used to extract structured data (entities, location, event type) from unstructured text, not to generate analysis.

This is an informational aggregation tool. Data reflects public sources only and does not constitute operational intelligence guidance.
