Kuwait recorded zero crude oil exports in April 2026 as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz brought shipments to a complete standstill, the first such disruption since the end of the 1991 Gulf War.
Data shared by the global oil-tracking platform TankerTrackers showed that Kuwait exported no crude barrels during the month, a sharp break from its usual flow of more than 1 million barrels per day, ranking 11th among exporters.
