The first challenger appears in the "forbidden zone" of geopolitics, as a Greek oil tanker crosses the signal blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

A cargo ship carrying 1 million barrels of Saudi crude oil recently passed through the Strait of Hormuz. This is one of the first large oil tankers to leave the Persian Gulf since traffic through this key shipping chokepoint nearly came to a standstill. According to vessel tracking data, the oil tanker named "Shenlong" is operated by the Greek company Dynacom Tankers Management. The ship closed its transponder while sailing through the Persian Gulf to the Strait of Hormuz on March 4 and re-emerged near the Indian coastline on Monday morning. Traders have been closely monitoring any signs of vessel traffic starting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright mentioned in a news interview over the weekend that a tanker has completed this journey. However, there is little indication at the moment that the overall security situation in the region has changed, with the majority of shipping operators still exercising caution when passing through the waterway.
