[Maritime Analysis Company: Kharg Island Resumes Crude Oil Loading Operations, Iran Actively Restoring Crude Oil Export Capacity] Odaily Planet Daily News – The UK-based maritime analysis company Windward released a report on the 4th, stating that satellite images show Iran's key oil export hub, Kharg Island, has resumed loading operations. The report noted that satellite images obtained on June 2 show a very large crude carrier (VLCC) docked near the western offshore terminal of Kharg Island. This is the first confirmed vessel docking since the facility was shut down in early May due to a suspected oil spill. On June 3, the VLCC at the western berth and a Panamax tanker at the eastern T-shaped terminal were simultaneously engaged in loading operations. By June 4, the VLCC had completed loading and departed, while the Panamax tanker remained docked at the terminal. Windward stated that the simultaneous resumption of operations at both terminals indicates that Iran is actively working to restore its crude oil export capacity. The report also pointed out that small speedboats belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) continue to operate frequently throughout the Strait of Hormuz. The ongoing high-intensity activity suggests that the IRGC is maintaining a heightened state of readiness to support Iran-related vessels within the strait. (Xinhua News Agency)
