As the Strait of Hormuz started reopening, some vessels were forced to change their route.
Two Indian-flagged vessels, the cargo ship JAG ARNAV and the oil tanker SANMAR HERALD, both received orders to change their travel routes as they were denied access to the Strait of Hormuz by IRGC officials.
Tracking data from MarineTraffic shows the vessels slowing down and making a U-turn after passing Larak Island along the agreed route.
The SANMAR HERALD also shows a draught of 21m, which indicates that the tanker is navigating with a full cargo of oil, likely from Iraq based on recent tracking data.
It is not yet clear whether the SANMAR HERALD is the same tanker that came under fire as reported by the UKMTO.
