First Oil Tanker Set to Reach Taiwan in May
Posted on 2026-04-13 17:14:13
The CPC Corporation says the first of four oil tankers carrying crude oil
from the Middle East is expected to arrive in Taiwan in early May.

The shipment comes as the U-S-Iran conflict continues to disrupt transport
routes through the Strait of Hormuz.

The state-run utility says it has coordinated alternative shipping routes,
with tankers now traveling via the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Officials say the remaining three tankers are scheduled to arrive at a rate
of one per month.

The shipments, totaling about 8 million barrels of crude oil, are expected to
help ease pressure on Taiwan's energy supply.

Authorities add that current oil and natural gas reserves remain above legal
safety thresholds, and operations have not been seriously affected so far.
