What is the significance of the four Saudi supertankers exiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to the news?

The exit of four Saudi supertankers from the Strait of Hormuz marks 'the largest number of exits since the peace pact came into effect about two weeks ago' and represents 'Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil flow since the Iran war truce', signaling a major resumption of crude exports following the US–Iran agreement to reopen the waterway for negotiations.

How much crude oil are the four Bahri-owned supertankers carrying, and where was it loaded?

The four supertankers—owned by Saudi tanker giant Bahri—are part of a flotilla carrying 'about 8 million barrels loaded at the port of Ras Tanura', one of the world’s biggest crude-export facilities, as confirmed by vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
