What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Crude oil is currently being shipped through the Strait of Hormuz toward Asia. The Strait handles one-fifth of global crude oil shipments, and its disruption has resulted in the removal of 10 to 12 million barrels a day from global supplies. Ship brokers noted that crude carried through Hormuz on shuttle vessels is often transferred via ship-to-ship operations in the Gulf of Oman for onward voyages to Asia.
