Two South Korean Vessels Pass Through Strait of Hormuz; 22 Ships Remain Waiting

Two South Korean vessels, which had been stranded due to the war in the Middle East, have passed through the Strait of Hormuz and are currently sailing toward a third country.

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced today (June 22) that "two vessels operated by South Korean shipping companies, which were waiting inside the Strait of Hormuz, have passed through the strait and are now sailing normally."

The ministry added, "There are no South Korean crew members on board these vessels, and their destination is not South Korea."

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is not disclosing specific information, such as the names of the shipping companies, the names of the vessels, or the charterers, in consideration of the safety of the crew and the shipping companies.

With the passage of these vessels, the number of South Korean ships waiting inside the Strait of Hormuz has decreased to 22.
