US-Iran MOU
18/6/26
4. Immediately upon the signing of this MOU, the United States of America will begin the removal of its naval blockade and any disturbances or impediments against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and will fully end the naval blockade within 30 days. During this period, the traffic of vessels will be in proportion to the numbers of pre-war traffic being restored by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States of America further undertakes to remove its forces from the proximity of the Islamic Republic of Iran within 30 days after the final deal.
5. Upon the signing of this MOU, the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman, and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start, and considering the need for removing the technical and military obstacles and de-mining by the Islamic Republic of Iran, will be instated within 30 days. The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states, in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.

Hormuz traffic is climbing, but refined product prices are lagging, and crack spreads are blowing out: one can’t just look at the oil price to understand the overall energy dynamic. On the geopolitical front, things are also still mixed. Talks about the US-Iran MoU in Doha, without either side speaking to the other, went well according to the US, who are staying on for what could be indirect talks today. However, the Wall Street Journal reports Iran is split, with political leadership focused on getting assets unfrozen and the IRGC on keeping Hormuz more frozen. Tehran has now rejected third-party offers to help demine the water way; they are in no hurry to see things return to normal as this removes their energy leverage. Iran is also opposed to allowing the southern passage via Oman, which the US favours, to become established – and there are still reports Oman wants to charge for access to this channel.

Why there is a shortage of tanks
When the Clyde and Kurnell refineries were closed (due to peak oil of Shell and Chevron oil production) crude oil tanks were decommissioned without adequate product storage. So that volume is missing
What we know are tanker data
100,000 DWT tankers have a volume of 110-115 ML.
Max 98% safety filling limit is 112,700 ML
Diesel: 100,000 t / 0.85 t/m3 = 117.6 ML; 92% => 108 ML
Jet fuel: 100,000 t / 0.81 t/m3 = 123.6; 92% => 113.6 ML
Petrol: 100,000 t / 0.75 t/m3 = 135; 92% => 124 ML
What we do not know:
The types of fuel loaded. Commercial in confidence. Sydney has no refineries so it can’t be crude oil.
Fig Multiple segregated tanks
https://www.shipfinex.com/blog/oil-tanker-ships-types-sizes-design-and-safety
A tanker can carry more than one type of fuel.
