Three tankers exit Strait of Hormuz with transponders off
Two supertankers and an LNG vessel exited the Strait of Hormuz with transponders off. The vessels are now heading to India and China amid regional conflict.
Three tankers carrying oil and Natural Gas exited the Strait of Hormuz with transponders disabled earlier this week, signaling a cautious resumption of energy flows. The vessels are transporting about 3.8 million barrels of crude and additional fuel toward India and China. This movement offers important insights for markets as regional conflict continues to bottleneck 20% of global supply.
### Supertankers Navigate the Hormuz Bottleneck Two Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) and one LNG tanker utilized "dark" sailing to bypass the strait on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Eagle Veracruz, carrying 2 million barrels of crude from Saudi Arabia, is currently heading toward Quanzhou. Shipping data from LSEG and Kpler indicates the vessel will reach the Sinochem refinery on June 16.
