Three VLCCs Carrying 6 Million Barrels Exit Hormuz Amid Iran Attack Risks

Summary
Three very large crude carriers carrying about 6 million barrels of crude cleared the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours despite the risk of Iranian attack.
Bloomberg ship-tracking data showed the tankers had been inside the Persian Gulf and began transmitting automated position signals again on Thursday morning as they entered the Gulf of Oman.
The transit underscores that some oil shipments are still moving through the chokepoint even as security threats around Iran keep pressure on one of the world's most critical crude routes.
