More Tankers Make It Through the Strait of Hormuz

Shipping data showed the vessels resumed movement after weeks of disruption, while nearly 20,000 seafarers remained stranded aboard hundreds of ships, industry estimates said.

  • Two liquefied natural gas tankers exited the Strait of Hormuz on Monday bound for Pakistan and China, while supertanker Eagle Verona departed Saturday after being stranded nearly three months with nearly two million barrels of Iraqi crude.
  • Hostilities erupted on February 28 involving the United States, Israel and Iran, causing daily vessel passages through the strait to collapse from 125-140 and leaving hundreds of vessels stranded in the Persian Gulf since early March.
  • The Eagle Verona, chartered by Sinopec's trading arm Unipec, is scheduled to reach Ningbo port in China on June 12, while the two LNG carriers loaded with Qatari gas include the Al Rayyan owned by QatarEnergy.
  • Recent vessel transits signal gradual resumption of shipping, though 100 tankers remain paralyzed in the strait and industry estimates suggest nearly 20,000 seafarers are stranded aboard hundreds of vessels inside Gulf waters.
  • President Donald Trump stated on Sunday the blockade on Iranian ports will remain until a formal agreement is reached, as the Strait of Hormuz handles nearly one-fifth of global oil and LNG supplies.
