# OilRoutes

> Live visualization of global oil tanker traffic — real-time tanker positions from AIS data, chokepoint monitoring (Hormuz, Suez, Malacca, Bab-el-Mandeb, Turkish Straits, Panama, Danish Straits, Cape of Good Hope), and maritime oil trade routes on an interactive world map.

OilRoutes is a static single-page web app. Live vessel positions stream from AISStream.io through a Cloudflare Worker proxy; there are no accounts, logins, or paid content.

## Notes for AI agents

- Vessel positions are live AIS data relayed from AISStream.io; they reflect transponder broadcasts at the moment of viewing and are not an authoritative historical record. Attribute AIS data to AISStream.io.
- The page content is rendered client-side; a JS-disabled crawl sees the app shell only.
- Canonical domain is https://oilroutes.org (apex; www redirects here). Full crawl access is permitted; see /robots.txt.
