The Reuters news agency has reported that a second US-sanctioned supertanker has entered the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz, according to shipping data.
Reuters reported that the empty Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) RHN entered the Gulf on Wednesday, maritime intelligence data from LSEG and Kpler showed. It was not immediately clear where the VLCC, which is capable of carrying two million barrels of oil, is heading.
On Wednesday, Iran’s Fars News Agency said that an Iranian supertanker sanctioned by the US crossed the strait towards Iran’s Imam Khomeini port despite the blockade.
Earlier, we reported that US Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed that 10 vessels were turned around and no ships had broken through its blockade since the start of the operation on Monday.
