Two tankers carrying oil products exited the Strait of Hormuz over the past week, while a liquefied natural gas carrier loaded cargo in the United Arab Emirates, shipping data showed — rare movements as traffic through the chokepoint remains limited, Reuters reports.

Aframax tanker Cy Victorious, carrying at least 80,000 metric tons (over 508,000 barrels) of high-sulphur straight-run fuel oil, exited the strait on May 30, ship-tracking data from Kpler and LSEG showed.

Another Long-Range 2 tanker Sti Elysees, loaded with clean products from Kuwait in late February, exited the strait on May 29, according to Kpler data. Its destination is unclear.

Meanwhile, the Marigold LNG tanker, managed by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, loaded a cargo at UAE’s Das Island on May 24-25, analytics firm Vortexa said.
