Editorial team and working process
An independent project operated from Spain, combining automation, public documentation and human editorial responsibility.
Who publishes
Estrecho Ormuz is published as the Estrecho Ormuz project. It is independent and is not affiliated with governments, armed forces, shipping companies, insurers or energy companies.
The approach is technical and explanatory: it covers energy, navigation and operational evidence without presenting itself as a maritime authority or replacing professional notices. The project does not claim qualifications, field experience or credentials it does not possess.
How content is produced
- Select a question that helps readers interpret the Strait’s status.
- Prioritise primary sources: IMO, United Nations, EIA, IEA, UKMTO/JMIC and sector bodies.
- Separate facts, in-house calculations, inference and scenarios.
- Original analyses require individual checks of figures, links, rights and conclusions before being presented as reviewed.
- Update when a source materially changes a figure or conclusion.
Scope of review
The project name does not establish a newsroom of journalists or human review of every text. Digests are automated. An authorized analysis must identify its reviewer, date and exact approved version; new analyses remain drafts until that approval exists.
Use of automation
The automated engine collects public signals, normalises source names, classifies operational wording and generates a provisional status. Automation does not turn rumours into facts or remove human responsibility: rules, tests, corrections and exceptions are documented in the repository and public methodology.
Why it is published
The purpose is to reduce a recurring confusion: threat, declared closure, reduced traffic and operational closure are different conditions. The project prioritises a cautious, verifiable answer for readers interested in energy, logistics and geopolitics.
