The Greek-operated tanker “Shenlong Suezmax” has sailed through the Strait of Hormuz according to analysis by ship tracking platforms Kpler and Lloyd’s List Intelligence.
The oil tanker has a capacity of one million barrels and loaded crude oil at the port of Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia, according to data from the MarineTraffic platform.
It last recorded its position within the strait on March 8, before updating that it was sailing towards the Mumbai port in India, according to tracking data.
Hundreds of ships remain anchored on both sides of the waterway as oil and shipping markets watch for any sign that sailings might pick up through the narrow corridor, which handles a large share of global crude flows.
An official with the vessel’s Athens-based manager Dynacom Tankers declined to comment, citing the sensitivity of the matter, Reuters reported.
The Shenlong sailing follows a separate voyage by the Pola, another vessel managed by Dynacom, which crossed through Hormuz last week to load a crude cargo at a port in the United Arab Emirates.
A shipping source familiar with the matter said that according to tracking data, many ships were turning their AIS ship tracking transponders off before crossing the strait, which included Dynacom vessels.
Citing Bloomberg, Greek and Cypriot media reported that the Shenlong is one of the five tankers of Greek shipowner Giorgos Prokopiou.
