Three Ships Appear to Exit Hormuz by New Oman Coast Route

Three tankers broadcasting Omani ownership appear to have navigated the Strait of Hormuz by hugging their home country’s coastline, indicating a different route to a northerly path through Iranian waters.

Two oil supertankers, the Dhalkut and Habrut, and the liquefied natural gas vessel Sohar LNG headed east into the strait on Thursday, based on the satellite signals they were broadcasting. All three vessels are managed by Oman Ship Management Company, according to the Equasis marine database. The company couldn’t be reached for comment.
