Iran is increasing its crude exports through the Jask terminal in the Gulf of Oman due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. This shift comes after a US blockade and threats to its oil hub at Kharg Island. Satellite imagery shows the terminal was docked six times between March and July, with at least two loadings in June and July.
The Jask terminal, operational since 2021, can handle up to 1 million barrels per day. Iran exported an average of 687,500 b/d in July, with few tankers calling at the terminal since September 2024. The terminal's establishment aims to provide an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz, through which Iran typically exports most of its crude.
