1 min readSupertanker Agios Fanourios I is heading for Vietnam to discharge its Iraqi crude oil cargo after it was held by the US navy for five days in the Gulf of Oman, shipping data on LSEG showed.
The Maltese-flagged Very Large Crude Carrier sailed out of the Strait of Hormuz on May 10 and was sailing in the Gulf of Oman before making a U-turn on May 11.
It resumed its journey toward Vietnam on May 16 and is expected to arrive at the Nghi Son refinery on May 30, LSEG data showed.
The US military’s Central Command said last week that the vessel was redirected as part of ongoing enforcement of the blockade against Iran.
