Forecast Trend Report by Period
Two tankers headed through the Strait of Hormuz turned back after US-Iran talks aimed at ending the war collapsed, Bloomberg News reported.
Bloomberg reported on June 12 that three tankers — Agios Fanourios I, Shalamar and Mombasa B — approached the Strait of Hormuz from the Gulf of Oman on June 11 and reached waters near Larak Island the following day. Vessel-tracking data showed Agios Fanourios I and Shalamar then reversed course.
The two vessels had been headed to Iraq and Das Island in the United Arab Emirates, respectively. Agios Fanourios I is managed by Greece's Eastern Mediterranean Maritime, while Shalamar is owned by Pakistan's state-run shipping company.
Mombasa B, by contrast, continued sailing and entered the Persian Gulf through the route between Larak Island and Qeshm Island approved by Iran.
The reason for the two tankers' course change was not immediately clear, though the collapse of the US-Iran talks was seen as a possible factor.
