A container ship declaring itself to have a French owner passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, according Marine Traffic data analysed by AFP Friday.
The Maltese-flagged Kribi belonging to the French maritime transport group CMA CGM crossed the strait — which has been virtually blocked by Iran since early in the Middle East war — to exit the Gulf on Thursday afternoon, the maritime tracking website showed.
The ship was off Muscat, Oman on Friday morning, still broadcasting the message “owner France” on its transponder system in the field usually corresponding to the destination.
