More escorted Hormuz transits should help return the five Frontline tankers stranded by the closure to service, adding back roughly 5 of its 80 ships of crude/product shipping capacity.
“Based in Cyprus, Frontline operates a fleet of 80 ships that transport crude oil and petroleum products globally. Barstad noted that five of its tankers are currently stranded in the Persian Gulf due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.”
