Iraqi Crude Oil Vessel Navigates Hormuz Strait Under Iran’s Exemption Terms

Satellite imagery and real-time tracking data confirm that an Iraqi oil tanker, carrying a substantial cargo of crude, has successfully traversed the strategic Strait of Hormuz near the Iranian coastline. This development comes on the heels of Iran’s announcement that Iraq is exempt from any transit restrictions on the vital waterway, as revealed by maritime analytics firms LSEG and Kpler.

According to Marine Traffic’s tracking system, the Ocean Thunder was recently spotted in the Gulf of Oman, approximately one hour prior to this update. The tanker had previously loaded approximately 1 million barrels of Basrah heavy crude on March 2 and is slated to discharge its cargo in Pengerang, Malaysia, in mid-April, according to Kpler’s data.
