About 10.7 million barrels of Iranian crude exports crossed through the Strait of Hormuz and exited the area blockaded by the US Navy between 13 April and 21 April, data analytics firm Vortexa said.
The blockade, Vortexa said, “is not necessarily implemented close to Iranian ports nor within the Strait of Hormuz, but flexibly around an area about 300 miles to the West between the Pakistani/Iranian border and the most western ‘corner’ of Oman.”
Vortexa recorded 35 total transits through the US blockade from April 13 to 22, involving Iran-linked or sanctioned vessels for inbound and outbound journeys.
