Physical oil market and shipping timeline (with Abeer Abu Omar)

Short-term oil supply increase is limited by logistical delays, but the reopening of Hormuz removes a major risk premium, pushing prices down cautiously.

Asks how long it will take for stranded ships to move through Hormuz after reopening.

It will take months for oil flows to ramp up due to damaged facilities, rerouted ships, and sub-chartered vessels. Full recovery to pre-war levels could take years.

Example: the Ras Laffan LNG plant was damaged and will take 3-5 years to return to 100% capacity. Many ships were sub-chartered elsewhere and need to be rerouted.
