This information takes into account transit through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, export through terminals, transshipment of cargo from ship to ship in the Gulf of Oman.
Total exports of oil, petroleum products, chemicals and liquid hydrocarbons (excluding gas) in the seven days to September 30 amounted to an average of 22.4 million barrels per day.
