6 Supertankers have performed U-turns in the Strait of Hormuz amid uncertainty over how Iran will retaliate against US strikes on its nuclear sites.
Six of the giant vessels, some capable of carrying 2m barrels of crude, turned back after entering the crucial trade route over the last 24 hours, according to vessel tracking data from MarineTraffic.
Three of the ships – named the Coswisdom Lake, South Loyalty and Damsgaard – eventually made second U-turns and headed through the Strait today.
It comes after Greece’s shipping ministry warned on Sunday that the country’s owners should think twice about using the route.
Meanwhile two large Japanese shipping companies said they will cut exposure to the strait, where a fifth of the world’s oil and gas supplies pass through.
