A Greek-operated oil tanker has sailed through the Strait of Hormuz with a cargo of Saudi Arabian crude and its destination listed ​as India, reported Reuters citing the data from ship tracking platforms Kpler and Lloyd's List Intelligence.

Hundreds of ships remain anchored on both sides of the strait amid the US-Israel war with Iran, with oil and shipping markets looking for any indication of sailings picking up through the critical waterway ​through which much of the world’s oil passes.

The Shenlong Suezmax tanker, with a capacity ​of 1 million barrels, loaded crude in the Saudi port of Ras ⁠Tanura, separate ship tracking data on the MarineTraffic platform showed.

It last recorded its position inside ​the strait on March 8 before updating its position as sailing to the Indian port ​of Mumbai, according to the data.

The vessel's Athens-based manager Dynacom did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Oil prices surged to more than $119 a barrel on Monday, hitting levels not seen since mid-2022 as some ​Gulf producers cut supplies and fears of prolonged shipping disruption gripped the market.

"All parties without exception, ​and I repeat, without exception, must respect the freedom of navigation," Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International ‌Maritime Organisation (IMO), ⁠the United Nations' shipping agency, said on Monday.

"I must express my grave concern regarding the recent attacks on merchant vessels in the region of the Strait of Hormuz," he told an IMO meeting in London.

Two oil products tankers with links to Iran made separate voyages through ​Hormuz in recent days, ​according to analysis ⁠from Kpler and Lloyd’s List Intelligence.

At least five tankers laden with around 11 million barrels of crude have left Iranian ports since airstrikes ​on Iran began on February 28, with liquefied petroleum gas supplies also ​moving, ship trackers ⁠and traders said on Friday.
