Hormuz Crossings Stay in Single Digits as LPG and Naphtha Exit
September 16, 2026
News summary: Reuters reported only four vessels crossed Hormuz on Tuesday versus a 10-day average of 18. One VLGC carrying about 470,000 barrels of LPG and one Panamax tanker carrying about 510,000 barrels of naphtha exited the strait.
Market context: The confirmed product movements were useful signals, but low traffic and incomplete AIS visibility still limited confidence in repeatable Gulf loadings and delivery dates.
