First Iraqi Tanker Passes Through Hormuz Under Tehran’s Exemptions
An Iraqi oil tanker has successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz using a new sea lane near Larak Island in Iranian waters, carrying around one million barrels of crude oil. The vessel's journey highlights that oil movement continues through this sensitive route despite rising tensions in the region.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a crucial sea route for global oil trade. An Iraqi oil tanker, Ocean Thunder Suezmax, has crossed the strait using a new sea lane near Larak Island in Iranian waters. The tanker is carrying around one million barrels of crude oil. Iran has exempted Iraq from its Strait of Hormuz restrictions, allowing Iraqi oil shipments to pass. The number of ships using the route has increased over the past two weeks, with 15 ships passing through in the last 24 hours. This indicates that major trade and energy routes are still working despite tensions in the region.
