Maersk ship passes Hormuz under US protection after months stranded
Danish shipping and logistics company Maersk said one of its vessels has exited the Persian Gulf under US military protection, with all crew members “safe and unharmed.”
The ship, Alliance Fairfax, had been stranded on sea since the war broke out in February 28 and was “unable to depart,” the company said in a statement.
Maersk said it was contacted “recently” by the US military, which offered the vessel an opportunity to leave the Middle East under its protection.
