Simultaneously, analysts observe that oil loading has halted in Saudi Arabia and Iraq's ports, while it remains active in the UAE and Kuwait's ports. One LNG vessel filled in Qatar.
During the period from March 9 to 10, the quantity of oil transshipped via Saudi Arabian terminals in the Red Sea reached 0.2 million tons, with two tankers leaving ports in that direction.
Windward, a shipping firm focused on maritime logistics, notes that on March 9, there was only one outgoing Iranian-flagged ship documented in the Strait of Hormuz, with no inbound traffic detected. In the last nine days, merely 66 commercial ships have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, a small portion of typical traffic volumes, and Gulf producers such as Iraq and Saudi Arabia are starting to modify production levels due to export limitations.
Experts indicate that 36 ships in the Persian Gulf have started declaring their nationality through the vessel identification system (AIS) for self-preservation, suggesting that certain operators are proactively responding to the existing circumstances. Around 30 of these vessels are registered under the Chinese flag, along with five from Iraq and one from Turkey. Panama has flagged eleven vessels, Liberia has six, Hong Kong has five, and Norway has three.
