[Global Crude Oil Transportation Increasingly Shifting to the U.S. Gulf Coast] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on April 13, Windward released its April 12 Iran War Maritime Intelligence Daily, which shows that 172 crude oil tankers are currently heading toward the U.S. Gulf Coast. This reflects a significant shift in global crude oil flows. Early detection analysis by Windward indicates that the number of tankers arriving via the northern corridor from Europe has increased by 46%, while the number arriving via the southern corridor from Asia and the Gulf region has surged by 132%. This shift suggests that amidst the instability in the Strait of Hormuz, global crude oil flows are undergoing a broader rebalancing toward the United States, which is seen as an anchor for stable pricing and exports.
