Non-Iranian crude exports from the region used three routes during Sept. 1-28, while tanker Loyalty made two Persian Gulf entries beginning in September for Iraqi crude.
Transit through the Strait of Hormuz accounted for 60% of exports. Cargoes loaded on the Gulf of Oman side beyond the strait made up 23%, while Red Sea departures represented 17%. The figures cover non-Iranian crude exports.
Before those voyages, the vessel had transported Venezuelan crude to China. Loyalty flies Tanzania’s flag.
Earlier EconoTimes coverage of a Kpler route estimate put the share of non-Iranian crude and condensate shipments bypassing Hormuz at 40% for Sept. 1-28, compared with 17% before the war. The estimate put exports in that broader category at at least 16.5 million barrels a day, matching its prewar average. It covered condensate as well as crude, while the route breakdown here concerns crude exports.
