So they just pass the oil amongst themselves? That doesn't make sense.Yep. In the very post you linked to, someone asked about this - that since oil movements
out of the Gulf haven't increased, is this just an instance where you happened to have a very large amount of STS on one day and it will have to be balanced out eventually? The OP's response:
Yes. The count that matters is of the barrels that end up departing the Gulf of Oman; and that is down by roughly 2/3rds. Saudi Arabia’s pipeline rerouting isn’t having enough positive effect just yet.X (Twitter): TankerTrackers.com, Inc. on X: "A busy day in the Gulf of Oman, where there are at least fifteen sets of STS transfer sessions taking place. We count 25 millionThis is just the inventory at sea in the Gulf being shuffled around different tankers - not oil leaving. One day happened to see a larger than normal amount of that shuffling, for whatever reason. As posited by that respondent and confirmed by TankerTrackers, it will likely be balanced out by days that have lower than normal shuffling among tankers, because the oil flows
out of the Gulf haven't increased.
