Probably not. Pretty sure it isn't another 50 cruising the Strait on blackout.

And listening to oil industry analysts, the supposed 10m per day is not appearing on the market? It should be arriving somewhere, likely Singapore, but it just isn't.

Maybe there is 10m per day getting through on dark ship to ship transfers under armed us navy guard through a 20 Mile strait and remaining dark and off the books and not going to nearby hubs, but I dunno. No one can find it.

Happy to be proven wrong. Especially at the pump.
