이란과의 전쟁으로 인해 수개월간 걸프만에 발이 묶여 있던 일본 관련 선박 10척이 월요일 호르무즈 해협을 빠져나가기 시작했다고 해운 데이터가 밝혔다.
해당 선박들에는 중동 원유 1,200만 배럴을 실은 초대형 원유 운반선(VLCC) 6척과 화학제품 운반선 2척, 자동차 운반선 1척, 컨테이너선 1척이 포함되어 있다. 대부분은 미쓰이 OSK 라인이 관리하고 있다.
이들 유조선은 2월 말부터 3월 초 사이에 선적된 사우디아라비아, 아랍에미리트, 카타르산 원유를 싣고 있다. 미쓰이 OSK 라인은 선원과 화물, 선박의 안전을 최우선으로 하겠다고 밝힌 바 있다.
별도로, 한국으로 향하는 사우디 원유 200만 배럴을 실은 VLCC 롱 윈드(Long Wind)호는 토요일 해협을 통과했으며 7월 26일 온산항에 도착할 예정이다.

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

A Japan-owned vessel passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. The Foreign Ministry said all Japan-linked vessels carrying Japanese crew members have now evacuated the Gulf.
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.

A United Nations agency halted plans to evacuate ships from the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday following an attack on a merchant vessel off the coast of Oman. The incident occurred after several tankers used a new route backed by the agency. A U.S. official identified the attacker as an Iranian drone.
The Iran-Israel/US conflict has halted maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway carrying one-fifth of global oil and LNG. Led by the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, Gulf countries are accelerating ports and pipelines to reduce reliance on this chokepoint. Experts say it will require years and significant investment.
