Tanker Tally at Iran’s Kharg Island Hits Post-Blockade Peak

An unidentified vessel was berthed at Iran’s Kharg Island crude-loading terminal on May 16, while other loading berths remained empty. The image suggests continued activity at a key Iranian export hub, but the report provides no confirmation of cargo volumes, destination, or operational disruption. Market impact is limited absent clearer evidence of changes to Iranian crude exports or sanctions evasion.
