Two Chinese supertankers have passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, shipping data on LSEG showed, likely the first vessels to exit the Middle East Gulf since the US-Iran ceasefire deal was struck earlier this week, Reuters reports.
Very Large Crude Carriers Cospearl Lake and He Rong Hai, both chartered by Unipec, the trading arm of Asia’s largest refiner Sinopec, entered and exited “Hormuz Passage trial anchorage” that bypasses Iran’s Larak Island, the data shows.
