Oil Tankers Store Millions Of Barrels Amid US-Iran Tensions
Approximately 100 oil tankers and 100 cargo ships have been waiting at anchor off the coast of Dubai since February 28. One observed cargo ship was reported to be empty. The situation may worsen due to ongoing regional tensions. Approximately 15 million barrels of oil are being stored in several large tankers in the Gulf. Some oil is being moved to older, decommissioned tanks in southern petroleum centers like Avaz and Asuriye. An expert, Hamit Hüseyin, stated that Iran is attempting to transport oil to China via railway. Energy expert Nihat Ismail from Al-Arabi TV stated that the situation creates a new level of problems regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf oil, and the Iranian situation.
