Pakistan-flagged tanker first crude carrier to exit Hormuz with cargo since US curb

A Pakistan-flagged tanker has become the first crude carrier to exit through the Strait of Hormuz with a cargo since a US blockade began on Monday, according to ship-tracking data from MarineTraffic.

Shalamar sailed out into the Gulf of Oman late Thursday after loading around 450,000 barrels of crude at the UAE.
