More oil from the Strait of Hormuz

29. September 2026, 15:30

There is good news for trade. More oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is a narrow water way. It lies at the Persian Gulf. Wars happened there before. Iran blocked the way in February.

Now shipments reach high levels again. Experts say: About 65 to 70 percent of the old oil flows. For crude oil the value is 80 percent. Every day 11 million barrels of crude oil pass the way.

A cause for success is a ship fleet. These ships drive back and forth. The USA navy protects these ships. They bring the oil to big tankers. Saudi Arabia also delivers more oil here.
