Two additional South Korean vessels have successfully navigated out of the Strait of Hormuz, ending months of operational standstill in the strategic waterway.
South Korea’s oceans ministry confirmed the departures on Saturday, marking the latest step in the gradual normalization of shipping traffic through the region.
The movement of these vessels comes amid a broader easing of tensions in the Middle East corridor.
Earlier this week, the United States conducted strikes against Iranian targets following a drone attack on a cargo ship, an incident that had heightened fears of renewed disruption.
Despite the escalation, the continued exit of stranded ships suggests that commercial operators are regaining confidence in the route’s security.
This development follows a series of departures over the past few days.
