A 'workable system' of transit and shipowner confidence in the security of the transiting vessels is essential. This includes availability of insurance for transiting vessels, facilitating commercial trade financing, and sustained outbound vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz.

Williams Companies will break ground on the Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline, the first new pipeline in New York in over a decade, expanding its Transco natural gas network.

After six weeks stranded in the Gulf, one of the 20,000 seafarers trapped by Iran's chokehold on the strait of Hormuz is reaching their limit. We're at anchor, near dozens of loaded tankers. No one has moved an inch.

Instead of trying to predict whiplashing oil prices, consider investing in energy ETFs like the Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF and First Trust North American Energy Infrastructure. These ETFs provide exposure to sectors such as pipelines and shipping, independent of oil price fluctuations.

With as many as 500 filling stations running out of petrol and diesel, Ireland faces an unprecedented energy crisis, with senior government figures said to be in a state of 'complete panic' amid escalating fears the protests will cripple the country.

Three supertankers laden with oil have passed through the Strait of Hormuz amid the fragile truce between the United States and Iran, according to shipping data. Iran's blockade of the strait has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices soaring since the start of the US and Israel's war on Iran.

The sharp decline in oil prices following the announcement played a key role in lifting sentiment. Lower energy costs could help ease inflation pressures and support both consumer demand and corporate margins.

The reopening of Hormuz is critical to the world's oil trade because its closure has resulted in the loss of millions of barrels of supply to global markets. A resumption would alleviate pressure on increasingly tight physical markets everywhere.

KeyBanc's revised oil deck reflects a materially stronger crude environment than previously modeled, with dislocations in global crude and refined products expected to persist into summer.

After 40 days of fighting, the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, with negotiations expected to begin in Islamabad. One key point in Iran's proposal is allowing shipping to resume through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been closed since the war began, causing global oil prices to soar.

The war in Iran has created an energy shock in Africa, as the continent relies heavily on oil and gas imports from the Middle East.

The war has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important oil route, since the end of February and cut exports from OPEC+ members Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait and Iraq.

From 28 March, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced that emergency energy-saving measures will run for one month to reduce consumption and ease pressure on supplies.

The war on Iran has created a ripple effect in the global oil market, leading to increased prices and supply shortages that could push Africa to rethink its energy strategies.
