Summary
A supertanker reappeared in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday, extending the first pickup in Strait of Hormuz traffic since Iran’s recent attacks on ships in the waterway.
Kpler data showed about 24 commodity vessels — including oil tankers, LNG carriers and bulk ships — transited the strait in both directions on Monday, with the rebound continuing into Tuesday.
More operators are again sending crude tankers into the Gulf, signaling a tentative return of traffic through one of the world’s key energy chokepoints after the attacks disrupted ship movements.
