In contrast, about 100 such tankers that entered the Gulf before the conflict remain stuck for fear of attacks, the data show. For the most part, merchant shipping through the vital energy chokepoint has ground to a halt since US-Israeli attacks at the end of February triggered a wave of Iranian retaliation and led Tehran to tighten its grip over the waterway. Still, a handful of vessels have been managing to cross under an array of schemes, including deals arranged at a government level in some cases.

Of the 19 ships to cross, seven have been linked to Greece’s Dynacom Tankers Management. The company has been one of the main firms to continue using the strait since the conflict began. A Dynacom official declined to comment.The cargoes the vessels were carrying have largely been from the United Arab Emirates and Iraq. Of the rest, three were transporting oil from Saudi Arabia or a mix of oil from the kingdom and other Arab Gulf nations. Only one large tanker that entered the Gulf after the war started hasn’t left, the data show. The crossings are only a fraction of the typical Hormuz transits before the war, which accounted for about a fifth of the world’s oil supply.
