Reports say CMA CGM and LNG vessels make it through waterway effectively closed since start of Iran war
Two ships have passed through the strait of Hormuz, according to reports, as shipping companies and international leaders scramble to get vital cargo through the waterway.
A container ship owned by the French shipping company CMA CGM has sailed out of the Gulf, the Financial Times reported, citing the ship-tracking data analyst MarineTraffic.
It is believed to be the first ship owned by a western shipping line to have made the journey through the strait, which has been effectively closed since the start of the war in Iran in late February.
The CMA CGM Kribi ship, which sails under the flag for Malta, is reported to have switched on its transponder near the coast off Dubai on 28 March before passing through the strait with cargo.
