Nearly 8 million barrels of oil from Arab countries cross the blockade line every day; “Iran’s share in 60 days is zero”

Nearly 8 million barrels of oil from Arab countries cross the blockade line every day; “Iran’s share in 60 days is zero”

🔸New data from a tanker-tracking institute shows that in the past 60 days, no crude oil shipment from Iran has crossed the United States’ maritime blockade line at the border of the Sea of Oman and the Arabian Sea, while the crude oil exports of six Arab oil-exporting countries in the region from the same area have averaged nearly eight million barrels per day.

🔸The figures were published just a few days after The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran’s oil revenues have come under pressure due to the blockade and reduced reserves on water.

🔸On Saturday, September 21, the TankerTrackers website said its review of tanker crossings over the 60-day period ending on this day shows that Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Arab Emirates and Oman crude oil left this line with an average daily volume of 7.85 million barrels.

🔸Based on the institute’s data table, the volume of crude oil crossing from these countries has been much higher than the average on some days. For example, on August 9, about 16.6 million barrels, and on August 25, nearly 14 million barrels of crude oil crossed this line.

🔸On average, five tankers carrying crude oil from these countries crossed the area under review each day, but throughout this period, according to TankerTrackers, “not even a single barrel” of Iran’s crude oil crossed this line.

🔸TankerTrackers’ findings are consistent with data from several other tanker-tracking institutes. In early Shahrivar, Reuters, based on data from Kepler, Vortexa, and TankerTrackers, reported that since the United States’ blockade was reinstated on July 23 this year, no crude oil cargo from Iran has managed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and reach China.
