A Japanese-owned liquefied natural gas tanker has successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first such transit for a vessel linked to Japan since the outbreak of conflict in Iran. The vessel, the Panama-flagged SOHAR LNG, is co-owned by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and its safe passage was confirmed on Friday.
"Crew members on the Panama-flagged ship, SOHAR LNG, remain safe," a Mitsui O.S.K. Lines spokesperson told Reuters.
