Container shipping group Hapag-Lloyd says that one of its ships has crossed the Strait of Hormuz but does not have any information on the circumstances or timing, according to Reuters.

Four out of initially six ships remain in the Gulf, after one ship’s charter agreement expired, meaning it no longer belongs to the Hapag-Lloyd fleet, a spokesperson added.

The four Hapag ships remaining in the Gulf are staffed with 100 crew, who are well-supplied with food and water, he said.
