Sanctioned tanker carrying Iranian oil transits Strait of Hormuz
A China-bound supertanker transporting about two million barrels of Iranian crude passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, according to ship-tracking data released Tuesday.
Tracking services Lloyd’s List Intelligence and Kpler said the vessel, named Cuma and sailing under the flag of Guyana, is listed under US sanctions and is heading toward China.
The shipment is the sixth Iranian oil tanker recorded transiting the strategic waterway since February 28, according to the tracking data.
