Two Chinese container ships successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz on their second attempt amid the ongoing Gulf conflict, ship‑tracking data shows.
After turning back on Friday, the COSCO‑operated vessels sailed through the strategic waterway on Monday and exited into the Gulf of Oman — the first non‑Iranian container vessels to do so since the US‑Israeli war with Iran began on February 28, as reported by Reuters.
The strait has been effectively shut for most commercial traffic due to heightened tensions and threats against shipping.
