What Happened
Three supertankers carrying 2 million barrels each passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday amid a fragile US-Iran ceasefire. Iran's blockade of this critical waterway, which handles 20 percent of global oil and gas shipments, disrupted energy supplies since late February. The Liberia-flagged Serifos and China-flagged Cospearl Lake and He Rong Hai exited via alternate routes. Hundreds of tankers remain stuck in the Gulf awaiting departure during the two-week truce period.
