First ships cross Hormuz after ceasefire, hundreds still stranded
Two bulk carriers crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, among the first vessels to transit the waterway since the ceasefire announcement, The New York Times reported, citing shipping tracker Kpler.
The ships, one Greek-owned and the other Liberia-flagged, passed through the strait as traffic remained limited.
Only a small number of vessels have been observed crossing each day since the war began, according to Kpler, and more than 400 tankers and other ships remain effectively stranded in the Persian Gulf.
