US-Sanctioned Gas Tanker Sails Through Strait of Hormuz

A US-sanctioned tanker blacklisted for handling Iranian liquefied petroleum gas crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, one of only a handful of vessels to make it through the waterway in recent days.

The Danuta I, a gas supertanker sailing under the flag of Palau, transited the strait in the early hours of Friday morning local time, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. The vessel had picked up a cargo from within the Persian Gulf, as seen from a draft increase.
