            <title>Straits of Hormuz-how to sail through gauntlets</title>

            <description>&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;Bulk carrier claiming to be Chinese passes through Hormuz Strait&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bulk carrier signalled it was Chinese-owned as it transited the Strait of Hormuz this week,&lt;br /&gt;highlighting how vessels are trying to ensure safe passage through the waterway during the war in the Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Iron Maiden changed its destination signal to “CHINA OWNER” from “For Orders” early on March 5 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;as it made a break through the passage while hugging the Omani coastline&lt;/b&gt;, according to ship-tracking data from Bloomberg and Kpler.&lt;br /&gt;The vessel had been in the Persian Gulf since December 2025 delivering several shipments, Kpler data show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traffic through the chokepoint has all but ground to a halt as conflict region escalates, with the US, Israel and Iran pressing on with strikes and counterstrikes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Over the weekend, LPG tanker Bogazici broadcast that it was a Muslim-owned and Turkish-operated vessel&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;in what appeared to be an effort to avoid attacks as it passed through the strait. &lt;br /&gt;The ship is now near India.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China trades heavily with countries throughout the Persian Gulf, delivering bulk-commodity shipments to multiple ports in the waterway, while importing huge amounts of crude. &lt;br /&gt;Since the outbreak of the war on Feb 28, Beijing has called on all sides in the conflict to ensure the safe passage of ships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.straitstimes.com/world/middle-east/bulk-carrier-claiming-to-be-chinese-passes-through-hormuz-strait' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.straitstimes.com/world/middle-e...h-hormuz-strait&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only China and Turkey ships got the pass?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='https://boereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/hormuz_strait_map-1024x689.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
