Greek-Operated Tanker with Saudi Oil Cargo Sails Through Hormuz, Ship ...

The Greek-operated Shenlong tanker carried 1 million barrels of Saudi crude through the Strait of Hormuz to Mumbai amid regional tensions and supply concerns.

  • On March 8 the Greek-operated Shenlong Suezmax sailed through the Strait of Hormuz carrying 1 million barrels of Saudi crude to Mumbai, India, according to Kpler, Lloyd's List Intelligence and MarineTraffic.
  • Markets reacted as oil prices rose to more than $119 on Monday amid Gulf supply cuts and fears after a senior official, Iran's Revolutionary Guards, said the strait is closed.
  • Ship trackers noted vessels were switching off AIS before crossings, with Dynacom Tankers, Athens‑based manager, declining to comment; the Pola, another Dynacom‑managed vessel, crossed last week and anchored within the UAE's 24 miles exclusive economic zone.
  • The Strait of Hormuz's role as a chokepoint means it carries roughly a fifth of global oil and gas flows, and Signal Group said, 'At this stage, the situation reflects a commercial response to uncertainty rather than any formal restriction on transit.'
  • Analysis shows at least five tankers left Iranian ports carrying around 11 million barrels since February 28, while four NITC supertankers of 2 million barrels each arrived near Singapore.
