JD - Shipping activity in the Gulf has been significantly disrupted, with numerous tankers and vessels stalled in the region's open waters. This disruption follows heightened tensions and recent strikes in the area.
Data indicates that at least 150 tankers, including those carrying crude oil and liquefied natural gas, have come to a standstill in the Gulf, outside the Strait of Hormuz.
Dozens of other ships and tankers are also experiencing delays on the opposite side of the Strait.
Vessel tracking data suggests that the tankers are currently stationary in open waters off the coasts of major oil-producing nations, including Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
