South Korean supertanker attempts Hormuz transit - Bloomberg
A South Korean-flagged supertanker appeared to be attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, Bloomberg reported, citing ship-tracking data.
The Universal Winner, carrying Kuwaiti crude, began signaling Wednesday morning that it was in the strait, south of Iran’s Larak Island along a Tehran-approved route for Hormuz transits, the report said.
The very large crude carrier is owned by Seoul-based HMM Co. and was signaling Ulsan, South Korea, as its destination.
