To the surprise of absolutely nobody.
SINGAPORE, April 14 (Reuters) – A Chinese tanker sanctioned by the United States passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday despite a U.S. blockade on the chokepoint, shipping data showed.
The Rich Starry would be the first to make it through the strait and to exit the Gulf since the blockade began, data from LSEG, MarineTraffic and Kpler showed.
The tanker and its owner Shanghai Xuanrun Shipping Co Ltd were sanctioned by the United States for dealing with Iran. The company could not be immediately reached for comment.
Rich Starry is a medium-range tanker that is carrying about 250,000 barrels of methanol on board, according to the data. It loaded the cargo at its last port of call, the United Arab Emirates‘ Hamriyah, the data showed.
The Chinese-owned tanker has Chinese crew on board, the data showed.
Another U.S.-sanctioned tanker Murlikishan also headed into the strait on Tuesday, LSEG data showed. The empty handysize tanker is expected to load fuel oil at Iraq on April 16, Kpler data showed. The vessel, formerly known as MKA, has transported Russian and Iranian oil.
The us blockade doesn’t stop ships leaving from non Iranian ports. So why would they stop this one. It left from uae
TACO Tuesday?
The TACO strikes again.
For the people incapable of reading the article
It left from the UAE and was thus exempt from the blockade
Most expensive political stunt in history?
I bet the Pedo wishes he could just go back to terrorizing immigrants and building arches instead of this war lol
What would stop a ship from stocking in Iran with transponder off then rolling in to UAE, then leaving?
Imagine being forced to sail through this straight right now. Poor guys basically playing Russian roulette so some rich dude can earn money
Has Jesus Trump made aware of this blasphemy?
Literally says in the article that it was coming from the UAE. US is blocking Iranian ports.
Well, per the CENTCOM release, the U.S is giving ships that come from non-Iranian ports a pass. So that would make sense.
The real test (which we have not seen yet) is when a ship from an Iranian port tries to get through. That will be the big moment imho.
Thank god cause it’s WWIII if trump hits one of these.
This is brain rot, why would the U.S blockade a Chinese tanker leaving the UAE?
China do what it wants.
If a tanker goes from Iran, to, for example Bahrain, and then out of the strait, will they be allowed to leave?
So as long as the last port the ship leaves is a GCC port US will let them leave ?
Isn’t that ship still inside the US blockade line? https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9773301
So, Iran can call any of the ports in the Gulf, and say „Hey, wanna buy oil on the cheap“, „Sure“.
Then they just sail the tankers inside the gulf never passing the strait. Another tanker then gets its (Iranian) cargo from UAE and sails the strait unobstructed as it’s not got it’s load from Iran?
Or could you even do that on the same vessel? Sail the strait „going into UAE“, leave UAE and get oil from Iran and sail back to UAE. Pump the oil off and back again, so that „you got this oil from UAE“ and through the strait we go?
Have they (tanker) paid a fee to Iran?
I’m more interested how many ships US have intercepted. Zero?
Man these comments….
The Starry did NOT dock at an Iranian port, it is carrying methanol from the UAE. It is however sanctioned for dealing with Iran in the past.
Trump downgraded his blockade from all ships to just those that deal with Iran.
So this is a bit of a gray area and a soft pushback against the blockade. Trump will likely let this through, even with Trump changing who he said was free to pass, it still makes him look weak and is a win for China and Iran. The next ship could push the boundaries a little more.
Super click bait. Wtf Reuters
Just block harder or whatever
I understand they ported through the UAE not Iran as others pointed out. However, to make it through the straight safely, doesn’t that mean they still paid the Iranian toll?
US wasn’t helping them. To navigate through, they must have been in communication with Iranians to avoid missiles/mines. Meaning toll paid to Iran regardless if ever ported there.
Trump publicly stated no Ships paying Iran toll will get through (regardless of port.) This ship got through paying the toll to Iran, breaking trumps “blockade”. Thats newsworthy. I don’t know why comments are saying otherwise.
It’s doesn’t matter if the ship didn’t port/trade directly with Iran, when they are still paying Irans Fee to make it safely through. Yes trump said he’d block all trade to Just Iran, but he also said he’d stop any ships that paid a fee to Iran, like this one….
I’d like to know what the US ships plan to do if and when say a Chinese oil tanker comes through from Iran, they try to stop them, and are ignored? Are they going to fire on said Chinese tanker?
It’s not a ship headed to or from Iran so Reuters is using a misleading headline in a vile attempt at misinformation during a time of war. Disgusting. Reuters has become trash journalism.
Its **U.S.-sanctioned tanker**. Why didn’t US seized it? No matter it comes out from Iran or UAE!
