On March 12, energy journalist Anthony Di Paola reported that Oman's crude oil export terminal at Mina Al Fahal Port has resumed normal operations following a brief suspension earlier on Thursday. According to BlockBeats, the Gulf Commodity Exchange, responsible for trading Omani crude oil futures, confirmed that loading activities are proceeding as usual. The terminal had previously evacuated all vessels as a precautionary measure.

🚀 Iran Conflict Alters Russian Oil Dynamics as Asian Buyers Accelerate Purchases

Before the outbreak of the Iran conflict, Russian oil was heavily stockpiled on offshore tankers, typically sold at significantly low prices. According to Jin10, the situation shifted rapidly as the conflict led to restrictions on non-sanctioned oil supplies. Analysts from vessel tracking data provider Kpler estimate that prior to the commencement of the 'Epic Fury Operation,' approximately 135 million barrels of Russian oil were stored at sea. By Friday, this figure had decreased to 121 million barrels, indicating a swift acquisition by Asian buyers who transported the oil onshore. While the exact amount of oil sold remains unclear, Kpler's senior crude oil analyst, Naveen Das, estimates that over 4 million barrels of Russian oil are being unloaded at ports daily this month.#IranConflict #RussianOil #AsianBuyers #OffshoreTankers #OilSupply #Kpler #CrudeOil #OilAcquisition #EpicFuryOperation #OilStocks #VesselTracking #OilMarkets #EnergyDynamics

Oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has significantly decreased from approximately 100 ships daily before the conflict to an average of just two. According to NS3.AI, Iran is effectively controlling which vessels can pass safely. Kpler reports that around 400 oil tankers are currently stuck. JPMorgan notes that most vessels still transiting are Iranian, with some governments securing safe-passage permissions for selected ships. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) recorded 21 ship incident reports in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman through Tuesday, including 16 attacks.#OilTanker #StraitOfHormuz #MaritimeTraffic #Iran #PersianGulf #GulfOfOman #ShippingSecurity #NavalConflict #UKMTO #JPMorgan #Kpler
🚀 Hormuz Strait Traffic Reaches Highest Level Since Early Middle East Conflict

Traffic through the Hormuz Strait has surged to its highest level since the onset of the Middle East conflict, as more countries secure safe passage agreements with Iran. According to BlockBeats, 21 vessels traversed the strait over the weekend, marking the highest two-day total since traffic began to decline in early March. Although the current number of ships remains significantly below pre-conflict levels of approximately 135 vessels, more nations have been granted passage rights.
A senior crude oil analyst from Singapore's Kpler noted that Iran is both responding to requests from partner countries and strengthening its control over the Hormuz Strait. Passage is still contingent on Iran's willingness, and the situation could change if conflicts escalate. Currently, most vessels permitted to pass appear to follow routes dictated by Tehran, staying close to the Iranian coast. However, an increasing number of ships are opting to navigate along the opposite shore.#HormuzStrait #MiddleEastConflict #CrudeOil #Iran #ShippingTraffic #SafePassage #VesselTraffic #StraitControl #Kpler #IranianCoast #ShippingRoutes
