Data from Kpler cited by the newspaper shows that the seven-day average of crude oil shipments through the strait stood at 10.3 million barrels per day as of Saturday, equivalent to about 76% of pre-war levels.
By comparison, shipments of refined products, including gasoline and diesel, were only around 1.3 million barrels per day. These products now account for approximately 11% of total oil shipments through the strait, compared with more than 20% before the war.
The continued shortage of refined fuels is being linked to disruptions at refineries across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and other countries. Several facilities remain out of service following missile attacks and other war-related disruptions, limiting the production and supply of diesel and other refined fuels despite the recovery in crude oil flows.
