Yeah, we're just delighted that we've been able to work together, activate Standing Order 288 and get this bill to the House.
Yeah, there's been a notable uptick in traffic over the past week or so.
We have to be careful not to read too much into any one day's transit numbers.
But there has definitely been a heavier flow leaving in particular over the past week or so.
Also quite a few ships going in.
But the ships coming out are really the more interesting ones right now.
They're carrying oil from...
several Gulf oil producers, Saudi, Iraq, the UAE and Iran itself, because the US has lifted its blockade on Iranian oil exports.
So there have been several cargoes from Iran, including from Karg Island in the past few days.
There was a bit of a drop off on Friday when our colleagues spoke to some seafarers saying they'd been turned back by the Iranian Navy.
And
A bit of a confusion on Saturday when the Iranian military claimed it had closed the strait again.
But the numbers over the weekend really undermined that claim.
There was actually quite a big increase over the weekend and today a fairly steady flow again.
It depends on the day, to be honest.
I would say more going out than coming in, but there have been a few recent days with quite a few going in.
Towards the end of the war, albeit during the ceasefire, there were quite a few ship owners getting their ships into positions such that they could capitalize on what would likely be a rush to export oil from the Gulf as soon as the war formally wrapped.
But now, over the past few days in particular, there have been more coming in than going out, and that...
reflects the demand for oil and refined oil products like diesel, especially in Asia, where, as we know, economies and companies have been scrambling to import fuel from the world over to replace the lost barrels from the Middle East.
Yeah, as you say, although there has been an increase in traffic, we're still at a fraction of pre-war traffic rates.
