First loaded Iranian oil tankers exit Gulf since US blockade: Kpler

Kpler said the tankers carried 5 million barrels and were the first loaded Iranian crude vessels to leave the Gulf since the blockade began.

  • Three Iranian oil tankers carrying five million barrels of crude oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first loaded vessels to leave the Gulf since a US blockade began.
  • The tankers Deep Sea, Sonia I, and Diona loaded oil in early April from Iran's Kharg Island and are under US sanctions.
  • The tankers' cargoes have historically been transferred near Singapore to other vessels bound for China, though their current destinations are unknown.
  • Since March 1, at least 37 Iranian-linked oil tankers have transferred at least 62.3 million barrels of crude near Singapore, according to Kpler and AFP data.
