According to data from MarineTraffic, the fleet consisted of four liquefied petroleum gas tankers, several tankers for petroleum products and chemicals, in addition to other tankers coming from the Gulf.
Reports from the ship-tracking website indicate that at least six ships, including oil tankers and cargo ships, crossed the Strait of Hormuz for the first time since Iran officially announced its reopening on Friday. The website added that a number of gas tankers also began passing through from the Iranian side of the strait, according to RT Arabic.
US President Donald Trump announced on Friday evening that the Strait of Hormuz was “open for the passage of ships,” while Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stressed that “as long as the blockade continues, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open,” explaining that passage would be “according to the specified route and with Iran’s permission.”
