Dubai: A Malta-flagged vessel is the first crude oil carrier to head west through Strait of Hormuz since the United States blocked Iranian ports, according to a global shipping tracking monitor.
The Malta-flagged VLCC Agios Fanourios I is expected to arrive on Thursday to Basra, Iraq, where ports are not under US blockade.
Also Watch:
Marine Traffic said the vessel attempted again a transit after anchoring in the Gulf of Oman for nearly two days.
