Movement... Chinese supertankers cross Strait of Hormuz after months-long delay SINGAPORE — Two Chinese supertankers carrying 4 million barrels of oil exited the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday after waiting in the Gulf for more than two months, shipping data showed, brightening hopes that the US-Israeli conflict with Iran may soon be resolved after positive comments from President Donald Trump and his deputy. Chinese-flagged ‌Very Large ‌Crude Carrier (VLCC) Yuan ‌Gui Yang ⁠loaded 2 million ⁠barrels of Iraqi Basrah crude on February 27, a day before the US-Israeli war on Iran started, according to data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and Kpler. The vessel, chartered by Unipec, ⁠the trading arm of ‌Asia’s largest refiner ‌Sinopec, is expected to reach Shuidong ‌Port near Maoming city in ‌southern Guangdong province, on June 4 to discharge its cargo, according to the data. Hong Kong-flagged VLCC ‌Ocean Lily loaded 1 million barrels each of Qatari Al-Shaheen ⁠and ⁠Iraqi Basrah crude between late February and early March, the data showed. The vessel, owned by Chinese major Sinochem, is expected to reach Quanzhou Port in eastern Fujian province on June 5 to discharge its cargo. The passage of the vessels comes amid continued disruptions and security concerns affecting shipping routes in the Gulf region. https://saudigazette.com.sa/article/661470/world/chinese-supertankers-cross-strait-of-hormuz-after-months-long-delay Edited on 22/05/2026 at 07:15:59.
