超级油轮“出光丸号”（Idemitsu Maru）预计将于5月25日抵达日本，船上载有200万桶沙特原油。这是自2月下旬冲突爆发以来，首批经由霍尔木兹海峡运抵日本的中东石油；此前的封锁导致区域能源供应实际上已中断。第二艘油轮“ENEOS奋斗号”（Eneos Endeavor）预计将于5月30日随后抵达。此次航运的恢复是在经历了一段极端的供应中断后实现的。4月份，日本从中东进口的原油同比锐减超过67%，创下1979年有记录以来的最低水平。鉴于日本历史上90%以上的原油进口依赖霍尔木兹海峡，该国不得不紧急寻找替代来源并动用战略储备，以减轻冲突带来的影响。这些油轮的抵达标志着关键能源供应线出现了初步的、尽管仍显紧张的恢复迹象。

A supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of Saudi crude is set to arrive in Japan early next week after clearing the Strait of Hormuz in late April, in the first shipment of Middle East crude to Japan via the chokepoint since the Iran war began on February 28.

The very large crude carrier (VLCC) Idemitsu Maru, which had departed from Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura port in the Persian Gulf in mid-March, is expected to arrive in Nagoya on May 25, data on MarineTraffic showed. As of early Friday, the supertanker was close to the coasts of Japan.

The cargo is destined for the Aichi refinery of local refiner Idemitsu Kosan, according to a briefing document of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry cited by Bloomberg.

The imminent shipment will mark the first cargo from the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz to have made it to Japan since the conflict erupted at the end of February and halted most energy supplies via the strait, which is blocked by Iran and separately blockaded by the U.S. in the Gulf of Oman to prevent Iranian oil exports.

Another Japan-bound tanker, Eneos Endeavor, cleared the Strait of Hormuz last week. The Eneos Endeavor, currently in the Malacca Strait, is expected to arrive in Kiire, Japan, on May 30, per data on MarineTraffic. It departed from Mina Al Ahmadi in Kuwait on February 28, the day on which hostilities began.

Meanwhile, Japan in April imported the lowest volume of crude oil from the Middle East on record dating back to 1979 as the Iran war and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz choked supply from the region.

Japan’s crude imports from the Middle East plummeted by 67.2% in April compared to the same month of 2025, provisional trade data from Japan’s Finance Ministry showed on Thursday.

Since the war in the Middle East began, Japan has scrambled to secure crude oil supply from alternative sources and released stocks from reserves as its dependence on crude from the Middle East passing through Hormuz was more than 90% of all crude imports
