A Japanese liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker has successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, its co-owner Mitsui OSK Lines reported Friday, News.Az reports, citing Al Jazeera.
The Panama-flagged vessel is the first Japanese ship to pass through the strategic waterway since the outbreak of the conflict.
A company spokesperson said that the transit was completed safely but declined to provide details on the security measures used.
