441 oil tankers gathered near the Strait of Hormuz, with 4 Qatar liquefied natural gas transport ships passing through

According to satellite data from the European Space Agency, on the afternoon of the 21st, about 441 large oil tanker sized ships gathered in the waters near the ports of Sohar in Oman and Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, waiting for the Strait of Hormuz to reopen, a decrease of 42 ships from 5 days ago. After Iran and the United States announced a memorandum of understanding, some shipping companies temporarily resumed operations, but after Israel launched an attack on Lebanon, Iran once again announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. On the morning of the 22nd, a total of four Qatari liquefied natural gas transport ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz, the highest number in a single day since the outbreak of the US Israel Iran conflict at the end of February.
