Kuwait declares force majeure on oil shipments amid Hormuz blockade
Kuwait has declared force majeure on its crude oil and refined product shipments. This action follows a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade has prevented vessels from entering the Persian Gulf. Kuwait Petroleum Corporation has notified its customers about this development. The company is invoking a contract clause. This allows them to withhold scheduled deliveries.
