A vessel owned by a Japanese company carrying three Japanese crew members safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz today and exited the Gulf, Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says, according to Reuters.
The vessel, which had been stuck in the Gulf due to the Iran war, is now sailing toward Japan, Mofa said, adding the government had coordinated with Iran over the passage.
The vessel is a Liberian-flagged crude oil tanker owned by Japan’s Kyoei Tanker, the company said.
All Japan-linked vessels carrying Japanese crew members have now evacuated the Gulf, the ministry said.
