U.S. Tanker Navigates Hormuz with Military Escort

The second U.S.-flagged commercial vessel to leave the Strait of Hormuz, escorted by U.S. military assets, was the chemical tanker CS Anthem. Operated by Crowley-Stena Marine Solutions, the vessel's exit follows the earlier departure of the Alliance Fairfax, another U.S.-flagged vessel operated by Maersk.

The CS Anthem, a U.S.-flagged commercial chemical tanker, made its way out of the Strait of Hormuz, escorted by U.S. military assets, as confirmed by three sources on Tuesday.

Operated by Crowley-Stena Marine Solutions, the CS Anthem follows the earlier voyage of the Alliance Fairfax, a U.S.-flagged vehicle carrier.

The Alliance Fairfax is operated by Maersk's Farrell Lines subsidiary, as per a Maersk announcement on Monday.
