      <title>Pakistani-flagged tanker exits Hormuz with UAE crude cargo</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330457049/pakistani-flagged-tanker-exits-hormuz-with-uae-crude-cargo</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistani-flagged tanker Shalamar has exited the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz carrying crude loaded ​from the United Arab Emirates, shipping data ‌from Kpler and LSEG showed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Aframax tanker exited the waterway on Thursday laden with about 440,000 barrels of Abu Dhabi’s ​Das Blend crude loaded earlier this week, Kpler ​data showed. The vessel is heading to ⁠the port of Karachi to discharge its cargo on ​April 19, according to the data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Shalamar was one of two Pakistani tankers that entered the strait on Sunday to load crude and oil products. Pakistan’s petroleum minister said on ​Wednesday that the Shalamar loaded crude from the ​UAE at an ADNOC terminal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Traffic in the strait slowed this week due to the US blockade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The US Navy said in an advisory on ​Thursday that the blockade ​has been ⁠widened to include cargoes deemed contraband, and any vessels suspected of trying to ​reach Iranian territory will be “subject to belligerent ​right ⁠to visit and search.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US Central Command said on X that 14 vessels have turned around to comply with ⁠the ​blockade at the direction of ​American forces after 72 hours of enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;
