Supertanker Rerouted: US Sanctions Shake Up China's Oil
Update: 2025-10-18
Description
US Sanctions Force Major Sinopec Rerouting: A supertanker carrying two million barrels of crude was diverted after the US slapped sanctions on China's Rizhao terminal, a key Sinopec hub. Now headed to Ningbo and Zhoushan, this rerouting is just the tip of the iceberg, with experts predicting Sinopec could cut crude processing by over 3% as they scramble to adapt to the new restrictions on Iranian oil. Will this trigger wider supply issues and price hikes in China's oil markets?
