    Oil tankers continued night transits through a US-protected corridor near Oman as operators used ship-to-ship transfers outside the Gulf

    Question

    Oil tankers continued night transits through a US-protected corridor near Oman as operators used ship-to-ship transfers outside the Gulf

    Direct answer

    The workaround keeps some Gulf barrels moving but increases voyage duration, insurance exposure and tanker utilization. It supports freight and regional crude premiums even while limiting the size of the outright supply shortfall.
