US energy secretary says 17 million barrels of oil transited Hormuz Strait on Monday

US energy secretary says 17 million barrels of oil transited Hormuz Strait on Monday US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said that 17 million barrels of oil transited the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. Wright added that marked the highest level of crude oil to pass through the waterway since the war on Iran disrupted shipping. Wright's statement shows a discrepancy with preliminary ship-tracking data from Kpler, which recorded only five commodity vessels transiting the waterway that day, with no liquid tankers recorded. The data does not include vessels that have their transponders switched off as it reduces their visibility.
