One of the two San Marino-flagged merchant vessels that had been stuck in the Persian Gulf has managed to leave the Strait of Hormuz area for good. The other ship, meanwhile, remains off the coast of Kuwait, where it is carrying out cabotage service.
The update was reported by San Marino RTV, which cited statements from Nicola Camorali, Flag State Manager of the San Marino Ship Register.
The situation of the two San Marino-flagged vessels had come under scrutiny following tensions affecting the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic passage for international maritime traffic and energy shipping routes.
According to what was reported to San Marino RTV, one of the two vessels took advantage of the period during which the Strait had been reopened, managing to cross it and move away from the area for good.
The situation is different for the second ship. The vessel is still inside the Persian Gulf, off the coast of Kuwait, though its continued presence there is also linked to the type of activity it carries out. The ship in fact provides cabotage service and operates permanently in that area.
At present, no particular alarm has been reported concerning the crew or the vessel itself.
Camorali, San Marino RTV further reports, explained that the situation is under control and that no news has emerged regarding dangerous situations, incidents or attacks involving the vessels concerned.
A reassuring update, then, at least as far as the two San Marino-flagged ships are concerned: one has managed to leave the Strait area for good, while the other continues to operate off Kuwait with no critical issues reported at this time.
