A Greek-operated oil tanker, laden with Saudi Arabian crude, has successfully navigated the strategic Strait of Hormuz en route to India. Ship tracking platforms Kpler and Lloyd's List Intelligence confirmed the voyage of the Shenlong Suezmax tanker towards the Indian port of Mumbai.

The vessel, capable of transporting 1 million barrels of oil, embarked from the Saudi Arabian port of Ras Tanura. Separate tracking information on the MarineTraffic platform corroborated its departure and subsequent journey through the narrow and highly monitored waterway.
