Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted, with only a handful of Iran-linked vessels transiting the chokepoint as it enters a fourth week of effective closure.
A very large liquefied petroleum gas carrier linked to Iran set sail for China on Saturday, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. The departure is part of a broader cluster of Iran-affiliated vessels exiting the Persian Gulf in the past 24 hours.
