Handful of vessels crossing Hormuz as US blockade takes effect

(Bloomberg) --A handful of vessels braved transits through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, hours after the US resumed a naval blockade of Iran and following an upsurge in attacks on ships.

A US-sanctioned supertanker laden with Iranian oil sailed outbound into the Gulf of Oman, before coming to a stop not long after exiting the strait, according to ship-tracking data.

A Greek-owned Suezmax filled with Saudi crude began signaling again, approaching Fujairah, outside the Persian Gulf, after it last indicated that it was in the gulf three days ago. Two small fuel tankers and two bulk carriers were also sailing through the strait in either direction.
