HORMUZ TRACKER: Saudi Suezmax Reappears Off Mumbai; LPG to India

Bloomberg · last updated

Commercial vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continues at very low levels, with just a handful of oil and liquefied petroleum gas tankers transiting in the last 24 hours amid heightened regional tensions.

A Suezmax carrying Saudi crude crossed the strait earlier this week in “dark mode” — disabling its tracking system — and resurfaced off Mumbai on Saturday, according to vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s the second instance of a non-Iranian crude-laden tanker exiting the waterway since it became virtually impassable.
