Saudi supertankers sail through Strait of Hormuz following Iran deal
Three supertankers sailing under the flag of Saudi Arabia and carrying six million barrels of crude oil onboard sailed through the Strait of Hormuz hours after the US and Iran signed their ceasefire deal, according to ship tracking data.
The sailings from Saudi Arabian ports were the biggest departures through the strait in weeks, according to Reuters analysis of shipping movements.
