Hormuz transits hit 3-week high; VLCC rates surge on crude demand

Non-Iranian-linked transits through the Strait of Hormuz rose to 97 last week, a three-week high, driven by crude oil shipments. VLCC freight rates have exploded as a result. The data is preliminary and subject to upward revision as dark transits are confirmed, but the trend signals a rebound in tanker demand and potential easing of regional shipping risk.
