The Panamanian-flagged bulk carrier MDL Toofan crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday bound for Rio Grande do Sul.
The vessel departed from the Saudi port of Ras Al-Khair and followed the route set by Iran, according to the Tasnim news agency linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The ship had previously tried to cross the channel on May 4 but was blocked by Iranian armed forces. The Strait of Hormuz has remained closed since February 28.
About 20% of the world’s oil passes through the waterway. In the past week, exchanges of attacks between Iran and the United States were reported in the area, even after a ceasefire.
