At least 65 oil tankers have dropped anchor in different locations, Reuters reports.
5 of these tankers were located near Chinese ports;
7 anchored off Singapore;
Others stopped near Russia in the Baltic Sea and the Far East.
These observations are based on MarineTraffic and LSEG ship tracking data.
