As Iran's attacks escalated, more and more airborne supertankers began to make a U-turn away from the Persian Gulf. According to tanker tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, recently at least 10 very large crude oil carriers and several Suez tankers stopped sailing or turned around when approaching the port of Fujairah in the UAE. Although other ships continue to sail to the region, the withdrawal of these supertankers has once again caused outsiders to worry about whether oil can continue to be transported through this waterway at a time when attacks occur almost every day around the Strait of Hormuz, and some attacks are even near Fujairah.
