Crude oil exports via Hormuz at 33.7 million barrels this week, data shows

Crude oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz totalled 33.7 million barrels in the latest reporting week, according to data released by Reuters. The volume marks the current weekly flow measured across the strategic chokepoint. The downturn follows a sharp fall in tanker traffic reported by IndexBox, which links the shift to persistent regional risks. CENTCOM confirmed that 122 vessels have been rerouted around the Iranian blockade, reflecting operators’ caution.

The Times of Israel observed that roughly 60 ships still managed to pass on Wednesday, a fraction of typical daily volumes. OilPrice.com noted that daily transits have crunched to single digits, signalling a deepening crisis in the waterway. Exporters, ship operators and downstream markets that rely on the Hormuz corridor face heightened logistics challenges. Reduced passages threaten supply‑chain timing for oil‑importing nations and increase costs for carriers forced onto longer routes.

Analysts expect monitoring agencies to publish weekly traffic updates, and officials may issue further rerouting guidance if regional tensions persist. Stakeholders from Gulf oil exporters to global refiners, end‑users and market analysts are currently watching the flow for price signals.
