Japanese-linked tanker carrying liquefied petroleum transits the Strait of Hormuz

A Japanese-affiliated tanker carrying liquefied petroleum passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday and left the Persian Gulf, according to media reports.

The Indian-flagged LPG tanker Green Sanvi, owned by the Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, became a second case of Japanese-affiliated vessel to have passed through the key waterway since the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran began, the Yomiuri newspaper reported. The tanker headed to India after leaving the Persian Gulf and all crewmembers are safe, Yomiuri said, quoting Mitsui as saying.
