Tanker traffic into Middle East Gulf surges after Hormuz reopens
- Inbound tanker transits through Hormuz more than doubled in the week after the ceasefire
- VLCCs are leading the charge, with fixtures reported at WS500-550 inside the Middle East Gulf
- Shadow fleet operators are also seeking opportunities, while Iran may struggle to sell at market prices without discounts
Tankers appear to be racing to exploit a 60-day window to move Middle East Gulf crude before the Hormuz reopening expires
