Global trade impact
Why they suffer — barrels through Hormuz
Each bar is the crude that reached the country via Hormuz before the closure. Green is what still gets through via bypass routes and non-Gulf suppliers; red is the daily shortfall they now scramble to replace.
The single biggest buyer of Hormuz crude. Leans on Russian ESPO, West African and US barrels to backfill the gap.
Almost all of Japan’s crude comes through Hormuz. Few alternatives at scale — forced onto its strategic reserves.
Heavily Gulf-dependent refiner. Diverts to US and West African crude at far higher freight cost.
Large importer with some flexibility — ramps Russian and US barrels, but prices spike across the board.
Less directly exposed, but a global price shock hits every refiner and consumer in the bloc.
