Manager Says Tanker of Iraqi Crude Didn’t Cross Strait

An oil supertanker hauling Iraqi crude whose signal appeared to show it had exited the Strait of Hormuz has not transited the waterway, its manager said.

The Omega Trader, managed by Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd, signaled over the past few days that it reached Mumbai, according to tanker tracking data. Its prior signal before reaching the Indian city had been from inside the Persian Gulf, more than ten days ago.
