Hormuz Crisis Wipes Out 90% of Dubai Port's Container Traffic

Container throughput at Dubai's Jebel Ali port collapsed from 3.79 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) in the second quarter of 2025 to just 374,000 in the same period of 2026, as the Iran war disrupted shipping through Hormuz.

Figures are gross container throughput, expressed in millions of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). The figures compare equivalent quarters in 2025 and 2026.
