Stranded Ships Have Begun Transiting the Strait of Hormuz, Maritime Data Company Says
Three Saudi-controlled supertankers resumed transit, moving about 6 million barrels of oil through the strait after more than 100 tankers were trapped.
- On Thursday, three Saudi-flagged supertankers carrying 6 million barrels of crude crossed the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first large-volume transit since the US and Iran signed an interim peace deal on Wednesday.
- The tankers had been trapped inside the Persian Gulf since the war began on February 28, switching on their transponders in the Gulf of Oman after hiding their locations for over two months.
- Other vessels like the Tong Lin Wan also crossed on Thursday; INTERTANKO Managing Director Tim Wilkins and Sheila Cameron, CEO of the Lloyd's Market Association, cited concerns about mines, sanctions, and toll payments.
- "The floodgates haven't opened, there is no mass exodus as yet," said Matt Smith, director of commodity research at Kpler, as ship traffic has not increased significantly since the deal was signed.
- President Donald Trump threatened to resume attacks and kill Iranian officials if they fail to honor their commitments, complicating the fragile agreement and long-term recovery of global shipping.
