The New Corolla, an oil tanker that departed the Middle East before the war broke out, arrived in California this week with about 2 million barrels of crude oil from Iraq, marking the last planned shipment to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
The delivery to Long Beach comes as the average price of gasoline in California exceeds $6 per gallon, according to reporting by the Los Angeles Times.
The arrival signals increased uncertainty about future oil supplies to the state as regional tensions continue.
