Iran resumes crude oil loadings at its Kharg Island export terminal after a roughly six-week pause, according to ship tracking data and reported by Bloomberg and NDTV. The restart follows the lifting of a US Navy blockade covering Iran’s ports. Data compiled from ship movements indicate that three very large crude carriers are moored at the Sea Island terminal west of Kharg. Each vessel has capacity of about 2 million barrels of crude, based on the reporting cited. The reactivation of loading operations marks a return to Iran’s crude export process after the earlier disruption tied to the blockade. The sources do not provide further details on the specific crude cargoes, destination markets, or the duration of the resumed operations, but they consistently describe the same key development: Iran’s Kharg Island loadings begin again after the US action is lifted. The reporting relies on tracking information for the vessel positions at the terminal to support the claim that loading activity has restarted.
