Tankers urged to not pay price to Iran to make use of Strait of Hormuz | EUROtoday

The warfare has lowered the passage of tankers by means of the strait to a trickle. Only 15 vessels have made the journey since Tuesday, in comparison with a mean of virtually 140 every day previous to the outbreak of the battle, carrying a fifth of the world’s oil and fuel provides. Almost 800 ships have been left stranded within the Gulf, most of them loaded with cargo.
