successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz three days later.<\/p>\n<p>MarineTraffic posted on X on March 30 (local time) that COSCO&#8217;s vessels had passed through the strait.<\/p>\n<p>Three days earlier, the COSCO-operated container ships Indian Ocean and Arctic Ocean turned back after warnings from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Iranian military authorities rejected U.S. claims that the ships had transited the strait and said they had forced three container ships to return.<\/p>\n<p>The third vessel that Iran also refused to allow through is still reported to be near the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>MarineTraffic described the COSCO transit as the first by a major carrier since recent tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and said it could signal a shift in the commercial shipping environment around the waterway.<\/p>\n<p>#StraitOfHormuz #Iran #China #COSCO #ContainerShip<\/p>\n<p>Yonhap TV story inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk\/Line
