Two tankers carrying oil products have exited the Strait of Hormuz over the past week, while a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier has loaded cargo in the United Arab Emirates, Al Jazeera reports citing shipping data .
The Aframax tanker Cy Victorious, carrying at least 508,000 barrels of high-sulphur straight-run fuel oil, exited the strait on Saturday, data from Kpler and LSEG shows. The vessel last loaded at Iraq’s Khor al Zubair port in early April and is expected to reach Malaysia in the second half of June.
Another Long-Range 2 tanker, Sti Elysees, loaded with clean products from Kuwait in late February, exited the strait on Friday. Its destination is unclear.
Meanwhile, the Marigold LNG tanker, managed by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, loaded at the UAE’s Das Island on May 24-25, analytics firm Vortexa says.
“The vessel halted AIS (automatic identification system) transmissions on May 3 before a ‘dark’ inbound transit of the Strait of Hormuz,” Vortexa said in a report.
