Only few tankers are currently moving through the Strait of Hormuz, about 7 moving west into the Persian Gulf and 16 moving east into the Gulf of Oman.
All these tankers are half way through the Strait and no new tankers are moving towards the Strait.
30+ tankers are anchored in the Gulf of Oman and 100+ are anchored near Fujairah. Another 25+ are idling around Liwa and Shinas.

Hope you guys have a full tank of gas, cause oil prices might be about to explode.

there are youtube channels that cover all of this you stupid fucking kike - that is normal flow rate

>>508347433 (OP)
They (Iran) can’t do shit.
A country with 1/10th of their population is giving them a hard time.

>>508347433 (OP)
My puts are going to print nigga, ha ha ha

>>508347599
No, it's not
>>508347713
I don't think so either, but what does it matter if the ships are not moving, out of fear that they might.
Insurance is going through the roof right now and vessel owner will demand a huge premium before some of them start moving again, which might take 24-48 hours

>>508347433 (OP)
imagine thinking their vessels won't just be bombed lol

>>508347433 (OP)
>Hope you guys have a full tank of gas,
all the Oil and gas is for China.
its chinas problem

Xi won't be happy.

>>508348351
Imagine you can afford to burn more oil at this point

>>508347433 (OP)

Thats literally what it looks like normally.

Irans does, but Saudi, Kuwait, Iraqi, and UAE oil is also transported through the Strait of Hormuz.
Also oil makets are global

>>508347713
Maritime travel seems surprisingly vulnerable. The houthis have fuck all for military and were still able ot fuck up shipping for a while. I'm pretty sure Iran shouldn't have any trouble either if they really wanted to. Unless they're all out of naval drones or something, but somebody had to have been supplying the houthis in the first place.

Commercial ships are huge, slow, and vulnerable, since they're built to maximise profit and up till now have had zero reason whatsoever to cut into that by adding any sort of protection or redundancy that would normally be entirely useless. You could provide a military escort to every single ship but that's probably gonna be even more expensive than just buying the oil somewhere else.

>>508348498
Oil is a global commodity. An impact on production anywhere affects the price of all the oil in the world. That’s what it means to be a commodity. I know you’re not a real poster because we’re being flooded by bots right now but at the very least perhaps this will help whatever LLM you are based off of learn a bit more. The age of the internet and mass communication is over. It’s all bots and shills. A theatre where they create both the arguments for and against a thing in order to propagandize lurkers. The future is the past, 1 on 1 communication and printed pamphlets delivered physically.

I work in shipping, no, this level of congestion is NOT normal.

>>508348814
No, it's not normal for 150+ tankers being anchored around the Strait of Hormuz. Oil logistics are more efficient in that.
How is it unfathomable that a major escalation in a war is impacting nearby trade?

2 new tankers are now moving towards the Strait from the East side

>>508349193
For the trade in the Red Sea it was the spike in insurance cost that made it less profitable than moving around the Cape of Good Hope.
Moving oil through the Strait of Hormuz needs to continue at any cost but the cost might very well be huge. Many of the anchored ships are probably waiting for the insurance to clear

>>508348498
they always allow ships to and from china
and they also have rail to china

>>508350236
>it's not normal for 150+ tankers being anchored around the Strait of Hormuz.
It is, its always like that, look a the history of the area on Marine Traffic. The anchorages at either side of the straight are always filled with ships waiting for their berths to become available.
I don't understand why you're even arguing this when you can literally flick the historical data on and take the plot back a month.

>>508348790
Don't they understand how pathetic they look, celebrating tiny accomplishments like damaging a single jet, or something even smaller like turning around a tanker? It's basically admitting the USA is God.

>>508347433 (OP)
strait of homos, who cares

>>508349669
The US Acould do export controls since we are oil independent now unlike the 70s and 80s. We are a net exporter.
But USA and Russia might allow prices to rise since we benefit the most from higher prices.
Europoors and China are especially fucked.

The strait might as well be considered closed, no companies will risk their expensive ship getting blown up, especially when marine insurance doesn't cover war related incidents.

>>508353116
>no companies will risk their expensive ship getting blown up
Bro they are paying Indian crews.
The ships are literally bioweapons.

>>508351439
Tankers near Fujairah might be waiting for berth, but the ones in the middle of the Gulf?

I just did a count of the tankers in the middle of the Gulf of Oman. 49 Tankers, just waiting.

Show me any normal day where around 50 tankers where anchored like that, in the middle of the ocean

>>508347433 (OP)
One of them appears to be traversing the land

>>508347433 (OP)
Don't worry we will get freedom oil and gas from America for the 10x price.

>>508353477
The sovereign citizen are still at it

>>508353758
Ahh, just like with gas when they blew up our pipelines. God bless the U S A

Oil markets open at 5 PM CST, in 4.5 hours.

>>508350236
who owns the ships
? have you learned nothing from corona ?

they command the ships to anchor
their news outlets spread news about iran has closed the strait
everyone says fuck it when they have to pay 5$ per unit at the gas station
as if the normie faggots would listen to iran saying they did not close the strait ?
fucking botnet

its all fucking planned

OP is a fag and a lying nigger.

Right to travel

Zoom in, gaylord

>>508355546
What are you seeing that I'm not? The clusters towards Khor Fakkan? It's standard for tankers to wait to be approved for entry, though I will concede and say that it's rather odd that some of those vessels have been sitting there for seven hours.

>>508348631
are you stupid? of course chinese ship going to pass but no americans or europeans or indians.

>>508352862
>we are oil independent now
No, we’re not. Our refineries aren’t designed to process the oil we produce. So we export our light sweet crude and import heavier oil for our refineries. That means we’re at the mercy of the global oil market just like everyone else.

>>508351686
>bomb may not have actually hit target
>israel was pelted with missiles within a few hours
>iran is moving to close shipping lanes were the world gets 20% of its oil
>ships are already starting to reverse course
>p-pathetic!
I don't think you understand anything that is going on, at all.

>>508355847
The cluster towards Khor Fakkan is always there but seems larger than usual. I counted 166 tankers.
The cluster of 49 anchored tankers in the middle of the Gulf of Oman (marked with blue) seems abnormal.
Not a single ship moving west in the space marked with yellow seems abnormal. The one to the bottom left hasn't been spotted in 8 hours

>>508353466
>>508355546
They're all waiting on Khor Fakkan and Fujhirah as per usual. This is ROUTINE.

>>508356506
Yellow area is because that's NOT an anchorage! The main anchorages are down towards Sharjan primarily, and then beyond that out at Fateh Anchorage in the middle of the Red Sea.

>>508356506
You can click the ships, and see that 70% of them are waiting on Khor Fakkan berths, they're backed up because of the ship collision 5 days ago.

>>508347433 (OP)
Can't you just make a canal through Oman and call it a day?

>>508347713
>1/10th of their population is giving them a hard time
It's almost like someone gives them endless money, ammunition, hardware, airplanes and covers them with the biggest navy in the world in the process, while simultaneously having that someone cuck like 7 other neighbors into defending their airspace? Almost like 99% of what they do isn't done by them.

>>508357476
Not a single ship is moving west in a radius of 80 km because it's no an anchorage?
>>508357631
And the other 30%?
