The company indicated that the vessel is en route across the Indian Ocean and is expected to deliver crude oil to Thailand in early April. Iran has indicated that “non-hostile” vessels may safely navigate through the Strait of Hormuz, according to reports, as this crucial shipping route has been largely inaccessible to tankers since the commencement of the US-Israeli military operations over three weeks ago. The US and other countries are still looking for ways to see their ships sail through the narrow way closed by Iran after the country was attacked four weeks ago.
