Several oil and liquefied natural gas tankers have crossed the Strait of Hormuz in recent days, heading for Pakistan, China, and India, according to ship-tracking data, reports Reuters.

The LNG tankers Fuwairit, Al Rayyan, and Al Hamra joined a handful of vessels leaving the Gulf this month via a transit route ordered by Iran. Last week, three very large crude carriers made their way to China and South Korea with 6 million barrels of crude.

The Bahamas-flagged Fuwairit crossed the strait on Monday and is expected to discharge in Pakistan on Tuesday. The vessel, owned by Japan's Mitsui OSK Lines, loaded LNG at Qatar's Ras Laffan port around March 28.

The Al Rayyan, owned by QatarEnergy, also passed through the waterway carrying LNG from Ras Laffan. It was last seen on May 22 and is expected to discharge in China on June 27.

The Al Hamra, managed by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, reappeared on ship-tracking data on May 23 off India after last being seen east of the strait on April 19. ADNOC declined to comment on vessel movements.

Separately, the VLCC Eagle Verona exited the strait on Saturday and is expected to reach Ningbo port in eastern China on June 12 with nearly two million barrels of Basrah crude. The vessel, chartered by Unipec, had been stranded for nearly three months.

The Eagle Verona was among seven ships for which Malaysia sought permission to transit. Five have since exited the waterway while two remain in the Gulf. Sinopec and Malaysian state shipper MISC could not be reached for comment.

Before the war began on February 28, shipping traffic through Hormuz averaged 125 to 140 daily passages. About 20,000 seafarers remain stranded on hundreds of ships in the Gulf.
