Secret Oil Tanker Fleet Evades Hormuz Risks

A secret 'dark fleet' of oil tankers is transporting over 4 million barrels per day through the Strait of Hormuz to circumvent risks associated with operating in the conflict zone.

This revelation comes as Iran has announced several blockades on the strait, a narrow maritime passage connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman that is crucial for global energy supply chains.

The 'dark fleet' uses vessels without active transponders to transport oil, which is then transferred to other ships in the Gulf of Oman. This tactic allows countries to reduce their exposure to potential disruptions caused by Iranian actions.
