More than 60 empty Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) are heading toward the US Gulf Coast to load American crude, according to shipping data, as disruption in the Strait of Hormuz continues.
Each vessel can carry around 2 million barrels of oil, positioning US exports to help supply Asian and European markets affected by the slowdown in Gulf shipments.
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains well below normal levels, with limited transits and ongoing delays reported in the region.
Very cool seeing the wave of empty tankers heading to the US to pick up some desperately needed crude for Hormuz-starved markets.
