A crude oil tanker carrying 100,000 tonnes of Saudi crude oil for Bangladesh has resumed its journey to Chattogram after safely crossing the Strait of Hormuz, ending a 115-day delay caused by regional conflict.
The foreign-flagged tanker Nordic Pollux had loaded the cargo at Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura Port on March 1 but was stranded after the strategic waterway was disrupted during the US-Israel conflict with Iran.
Following the partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the vessel resumed its voyage and is now bound for Chattogram Port, where the crude will be delivered to Eastern Refinery Limited (ERL) for processing and nationwide distribution.
