Tankers Are Going Dark for Longer to Get Oil Out of Middle East
Supertankers are operating in a 'dark' manner for extended periods to facilitate the movement of oil out of the Middle East. The supertankers utilize key maritime routes, specifically the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb strait. These operations employ tactics that echo those used during prior conflicts involving Iran.
