Tehran’s ​blockade of the strait, a chokepoint for ​about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural ⁠gas shipments, since the start of the Iran war ​at the end of February, has disrupted global energy ​supplies and sent oil prices soaring.

The Liberia-flagged Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) Serifos and China-flagged VLCCs Cospearl Lake and He Rong ​Hai, entered and exited the “Hormuz Passage trial anchorage” that ​bypasses Iran’s Larak Island on Saturday, LSEG data showed.

Each vessel is ‌capable ⁠of carrying 2 million barrels of oil.

Serifos, carrying crude loaded from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in early March, is expected to arrive at ​Malaysia’s Malacca port ​on April ⁠21, data from LSEG and analytics firm Kpler showed.

Cospearl Lake is laden with ​Iraqi oil and He Rong Hai is ​carrying ⁠Saudi crude, the same data showed.

Both VLCCs are chartered by Unipec, the trading arm of Chinese energy giant Sinopec, ⁠the ​data showed.

Sinopec did not immediately ​respond to a request for comment outside office hours.
