Chinese supertanker Yuan Hua Hu passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, sailing toward a U.S. blockade, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday.
The 2-million-barrel vessel, owned by COSCO Shipping (SHA:601919, HKG:1919) units, passed Iran's Larak island into the Gulf of Oman, according to the report. Fully loaded after lifting crude from Iraq's Basrah terminal in March, the ship signals Zhoushan, China as its destination.
This is the third transit by a Chinese very large crude carrier since the war began, Bloomberg wrote.
Shares of COSCO Shipping rose 1% on the Shanghai bourse on Thursday and 2% on the Hong Kong bourse.
