A Pakistani oil tanker carrying 80 million litres of diesel has safely crossed the Strait of Hormuz and entered the Gulf of Oman, according to sources from the Pakistan National Shipping Corporation.

Officials said the vessel’s movement took place amid sensitive maritime security conditions in the region.

Sources added that the ship was reportedly granted special passage permission and continued its voyage without disruption after crossing the strait.

The tanker is said to have been monitored throughout its route to ensure compliance with international shipping regulations, with officials confirming it is now heading towards its destination in open waters.

According to PNSC sources, the vessel is expected to reach Karachi port within two to three days.

The Strait of Hormuz is a key global energy shipping route, and safe passage through the corridor is often seen as critical for international oil and fuel supply chains.
