At least 10 very large crude carriers and several Suezmax vessels approaching Fujairah, in the United Arab Emirates, have stopped or changed course in recent days, according to Bloomberg tanker-tracking data. The vessels were empty and heading toward a key oil-transfer hub as Iranian attacks escalated across the Gulf. Fujairah is a strategic export and shipping center outside the Strait of Hormuz, making it vital to regional oil flows. The diversions underscore how security threats are disrupting tanker movements even beyond the strait itself.
