Granelero panameño cruza el estrecho de Ormuz con destino a Brasil

El granelero MDL Toofan, de bandera panameña, cruzó el domingo el estrecho de Ormuz con rumbo a Río Grande del Sur.

El buque partió del puerto saudí de Ras Al-Khair y siguió la ruta establecida por Irán, según la agencia de noticias Tasnim, vinculada al Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica.

El barco había intentado cruzar el canal el 4 de mayo, pero fue bloqueado por las fuerzas armadas iraníes. El estrecho de Ormuz ha permanecido cerrado desde el 28 de febrero.

Alrededor del 20% del petróleo mundial pasa por esta vía fluvial. En la última semana se reportaron intercambios de ataques entre Irán y Estados Unidos en la zona, incluso después de un alto el fuego.

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.

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.

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.
