Iran's oil export jumps with their rush to send the largest number of vessels
Iran’s oil exports have jumped since it was attacked by Israel on Friday, according to a company that specializes in monitoring secret consignments. According to the data of the “tankertrackers.com” website, the Islamic Republic has exported an average of 2.33 million barrels per day since June 13, an increase of 44% compared to this year’s average to June 12. Most of this oil comes from the island of “exit”, which includes a group of storage tanks which is an important infrastructure for Iran. The high oil and ship prices, the attack launched by Tel Aviv, have led to the high prices of crude oil and oil tankers, as traders and investors have traced the possibility of oil flow and goods on the region of the largest oil producer in the world. The momentum of the island “has come out” is another indication that the reduction of supplies has been limited so far, as the movement of ships is still through the street of hormuz at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. Sammer Madani, the founding partner of “Tanker Tersles”, talked about Iran’s approach: “It seems very clear to me what they are doing, they try to perform the greatest possible number of vessels as safely as to maintain safety as a top priority,” said Samer Madani, founder of the tanker. Iranian oil export facilities specialize in ‘tanker -rails’ in the examination of satellite images to fill gaps in the main instrument used by the sector to monitor shipping movements, known as AIS. The company’s business is useful if it relates to Iran, because many ships connected to the trade have stopped its automatic signals, making their detection more difficult. There are no indications that Israel targeted the Iranian oil export infrastructure. However, if Tehran is concerned about the possibility of the situation, the increase in exports to the maximum may be the way to maintain the flow of shipping and the resulting oil income – at least in the short term. Oil is stored in very close tanks on the island of “Exit”, making it more likely to attack compared to consignments on the ships deployed in the Persian wave or heading to China. The distinction of Iranian oil tankers shows satellite images of the area southeast of the island “Exit”, where the tankers usually wait before the drawer, that empty ships have spread since the start of the Israeli attacks. Iran adopted a similar strategy to spread the expected tankers when it was attacked last October. And then she continued with her export without interruption. Another indication that the flow is not subject to restrictions from the wider region in the Middle East, which is an indication of the tankers collected by Bloomberg, indicates that there is no noticeable change in oil shipments moving through the street of hormuz. There was also no major adjustment to sailing ships through this waterway, which passes about a fifth of oil production in the world.
