Ocho buques surcoreanos más salen del estrecho de Ormuz

Ocho buques más operados por Corea del Sur han salido del estrecho de Ormuz tras el acuerdo de alto el fuego alcanzado la semana pasada entre Estados Unidos e Irán.

El Ministerio de Océanos y Pesca informó el viernes que los ocho buques atravesaron con seguridad la vía marítima estratégica y navegan con normalidad. Con estas últimas salidas, el número de barcos vinculados a Corea del Sur que permanecen dentro del estrecho ha descendido a cinco.

El presidente Lee Jae Myung escribió en X que se espera que tres buques más salgan antes de que finalice el fin de semana. Esto deja solo al Namu, que se encuentra en reparación tras un ataque a principios de mayo, y a otra embarcación que permanece allí debido a problemas con la carga.

Las salidas se producen tras un acuerdo preliminar firmado la semana pasada por Estados Unidos e Irán. Bajo este acuerdo, Teherán permite que los buques transiten por el estrecho sin tarifas durante 60 días.

Another South Korean-operated vessel has passed through the Strait of Hormuz, the second such case amid regional 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.

In an update to South Korea's response to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, Foreign Minister Cho Hyun stated on April 15 that Seoul has no plans to pay Iran for passage of its 26 stranded ships carrying 173 seafarers, aligning with the U.S.-led blockade. Data on the vessels was shared with Iran, the U.S., and Gulf states, factoring in a recent two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned of severe reaction against any military ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz, after two US destroyers passed through for a demining operation. The threat comes as peace talks between the United States and Iran began in Pakistan. Navigation in this strategic waterway remains hindered by mines laid by Tehran.

Iran returned the Strait of Hormuz to full military control on Saturday, just a day after announcing its reopening to commercial traffic during a U.S.-Iran ceasefire. The rapid reversal came amid persistent U.S. naval restrictions and low actual transits, heightening tensions in the key energy corridor.

Around 130 container vessels linked to the Philippines remain trapped in the Strait of Hormuz due to the ongoing Middle East conflict and effective blockade, straining exports and goods flow, a shipping executive told a Senate panel on April 8. This follows recent diplomatic assurances from Iran for Philippine ships.

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.
