Media: Two fuel tankers heading to India pass through Strait of Hormuz

Two vessels carrying household fuel and bound for India from the Persian Gulf appear to have transited the Strait of Hormuz, Bloomberg reports.

One liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanker, the Symi, emerged in the Gulf of Oman after previously turning off its transponder. Another vessel, the NV Sunshine, stopped transmitting its location data shortly after passing through the strait, according to the outlet.

The agency noted that, including these voyages, the total number of large ships transporting oil, fuel, and gas through the Strait of Hormuz since Sunday, May 10, has reached nine.

This indicates an increase in maritime traffic compared to recent weeks, taking place amid a deadlock in negotiations to end the war.
