About 8M Barrels a Day Now Exiting Hormuz, Clarksons Research Says

About 8 million barrels of oil a day are now flowing out through the Strait of Hormuz, putting total Middle East crude outflow at roughly 13.5 million barrels a day, the analysis arm of shipbroker Clarksons. Before the US-Iran conflict, about 15 million barrels a day moved through the strait and total Middle East crude outflow was 18 million barrels a day.

AI take

The gap between pre-conflict and current Hormuz volumes is the real signal here: the disruption is partial, not a closure, so the market is pricing rerouted and reduced flow rather than an outright halt. This matters most for refiners and buyers dependent on Gulf crude, and for freight and insurance costs along alternative routes. Whether volumes stabilize near current levels or erode further as the conflict evolves is the open question.
