Panamaischer Massengutfrachter durchquert Straße von Hormus auf dem Weg nach Brasilien

Der unter panamaischer Flagge fahrende Massengutfrachter MDL Toofan hat am Sonntag die Straße von Hormus in Richtung Rio Grande do Sul passiert.

Das Schiff war vom saudi-arabischen Hafen Ras Al-Khair ausgelaufen und folgte der von Iran vorgegebenen Route, wie die mit den Islamischen Revolutionsgarden verbundene Nachrichtenagentur Tasnim berichtete.

Das Schiff hatte bereits am 4. Mai versucht, den Kanal zu durchqueren, wurde jedoch von iranischen Streitkräften blockiert. Die Straße von Hormus ist seit dem 28. Februar gesperrt.

Etwa 20 % des weltweiten Öls werden durch diese Wasserstraße transportiert. In der vergangenen Woche wurden in dem Gebiet Angriffe zwischen Iran und den Vereinigten Staaten gemeldet, selbst nach einem Waffenstillstand.

Iran has claimed the Strait of Hormuz is closed after a surge of attacks on commercial vessels since late February, while the U.S. military says it destroyed Iranian mine-laying boats near the vital oil chokepoint—an escalation that has heightened fears of prolonged disruption to energy and trade flows.

Amid the ongoing Iran conflict, where Iran has restricted Strait of Hormuz access to non-US/Israeli-linked ships, at least eight vessels—including three Iran-linked tankers—passed through on Tuesday, the first day of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports announced by President Donald Trump. Shipping data shows no interruptions, despite US claims of no breaches.

Following Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's declaration that the Strait of Hormuz is 'completely open,' Indian-flagged vessels carrying crude oil vital to India's energy needs have begun exiting the Persian Gulf. This marks a further easing after earlier selective transits by ships without U.S. or Israeli links amid the ongoing conflict.

Three Chinese vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz following coordination with relevant parties, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Tuesday. She expressed appreciation for the assistance and called for a ceasefire in the Gulf region as soon as possible. PetroChina stated operations remain stable despite impacts from Middle East tensions.

South Korea's foreign ministry emphasized on Sunday the diverse situations facing ships and nations in the Strait of Hormuz, following the recent transit of two Japan-linked tankers through the Iran-blocked waterway. This comes amid the ongoing crisis sparked by late February U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, which stranded 26 South Korean vessels carrying 173 sailors. Seoul prioritizes crew safety while seeking to restore navigation freedom under international norms.

The United States has expanded its maritime blockade on Iranian-linked vessels, intercepting ships bound for China and pressuring Beijing's energy supplies. U.S. forces boarded the sanctioned tanker M/T Tifani in the Indo-Pacific on April 21, while another vessel, the Rich Starry, turned back from the Strait of Hormuz. Experts say China is managing short-term impacts through reserves but faces diplomatic challenges.

At least 11 vessels anchored in the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf broadcast Chinese links via transponders on Friday afternoon as a defensive measure to evade a potential Iran blockade. Analysts view this as leveraging Beijing's relative neutrality in the Middle East conflict for diplomatic protection.
