Are 121 empty oil tankers heading to the United States to load oil?

Analysis Reasoning

President Trump announced that empty oil tankers were heading to the U.S. to load oil and gas, but the specific number of 121 tankers cannot be verified from available sources. Trump's statements reference 'massive numbers' of 'completely empty' tankers without specifying an exact count. The claim about Trump urging countries to use American energy supplies as an alternative to Iran-disrupted Strait of Hormuz shipping is accurate in substance, though Trump framed it as clearing the strait 'as a favor' rather than explicitly urging energy purchases.
