French-flagged LNG tanker the Mraikh left the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, according to tracking platform MarineTraffic, the first such vessel to make the transit since the start of the Iran conflict.
The liquefied natural gas vessel, owned by the Nantes-based subsidiary of Norwegian company Knutsen OAS Shipping, was carrying 76,535 tons of LNG, which it loaded in Ras Laffan, Qatar, and was bound for Port Qasim, Pakistan, according to the platform operated by data firm Kpler, which tracks cargo ships.
The United States said the strait would reopen within days after it announced an agreement with Iran on Sunday to end the three-and-half-month conflict.
