Several sulphur vessels exit Hormuz after peace deal

Several sulphur vessels have transited the strait of Hormuz since the signing of the peace deal between the US and Iran last week.

  • The Espada X dwt 88,300 loaded at Ruwais, UAE, and has an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of 18 July at Jorf Lasfar, Morocco.
  • MV Toro dwt 55,000 loaded in Ruwais, UAE, and has an ETA of 28 June in Aqaba, Jordan.
  • The Yan Dang Shan dwt 63,300 loaded in Ruwais, UAE, and is sailing towards Indonesia.
  • The Xin Qi Men dwt 81,600 loaded sulphur at Ruwais, UAE, and is headed for China.

These vessels follow earlier three transits identified as having exited the strait a week ago:

  • The Nejat dwt 38,000 for Bahodopi, Indonesia, loaded in Ras Laffan, Qatar.
  • Two vessels for Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania; the Abu Al Abyad dwt 57,000 from Ruwais, UAE,and the Safeen Al Nasr dwt 36,600 loaded in Al Zour, Kuwait.

These deliveries are all believed to be contract shipments or earlier sales. With some vessels having been able to sail, approximately 500,000t of sulphur in still believed to remain loaded onto ships in the strait, much of it committed under earlier contracts.

Some vessel operators were left confused on the status of the strait, with some attempting to exit on 17 and 18 June, only to be forced to turn back due to a lack of permission. Confusion remains over the status, and many consider crossing to be too big of a risk in the current, volatile situation.

Since the start of the conflict 28 February, an estimated 480,000t-500,000t of sulphur has managed to exit the strait of Hormuz at a slow pace up until mid-June. This is around 10pc of the usual rate of sulphur exports from the region.
