Rival Vessel Passes Through Strait of Hormuz Despite Trump’s Blockade
A vessel owned by China passed through the Strait of Hormuz in spite of the blockade by the United States Navy under orders of President Donald Trump. The sanctioned Chinese-owned oil and chemical tanker Rich Starry successfully transited the vital waterway on Tuesday amid a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.
The Rich Starry was the first vessel to cross the Strait since the U.S. imposed its blockade on Monday. The ship was initially turned back on Monday, but was successful on its second attempt to cross.
Citing data from Kpler and MarineTraffic, Reuters reported that the vessel had traversed the chokepoint earlier today. Owned by Shanghai Xuanrun Shipping Co Ltd., the vessel, Rich Starry, became a target for U.S. sanctions because it was used to transport Iranian crude.
President Trump announced on Sunday that the U.S. Navy would “begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.” The blockade was set to start at 10 am Eastern Time on Monday and would not, in point of fact, target any and all ships, but only those heading for or setting off from Iranian ports.
The Rich Starry was transiting the Strait from the United Arab Emirates and was therefore allowed to pass.

According to a report by Oil Price, another tanker, also under U.S. sanctions, entered the strait today as well, Reuters also reported, citing data from Kpler and LSEG. The Murlikishan is heading for Iraq, where it would load fuel oil, Kpler said. The tanker has been previously used to transport both Iranian and Russian oil.

Previously, Iran had closed the Strait after the U.S. and Israel attacked in February. They have since reopened it only to have Trump say that Iran was doing a poor job at it.
