The first batch of large oil tankers passes through the “alternative channel” out of the Strait of Hormuz as Iran’s container terminals resume operations.

```htmlJinse Finance reported on April 11th, citing Caixin, that as the United States and Iran are set to begin negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, transit through the Strait of Hormuz has preliminarily resumed, and Iran's container ports have also begun to restore operations. On April 11th, the 300,000-ton VLCC “SERIFOS” owned by Greece's renowned shipowner Aeolos crossed the Strait of Hormuz from the Persian Gulf, carrying a full load of Saudi crude oil scheduled to arrive in Malaysia in late April. Unlike previous ships, the “SERIFOS” used Iran's newly announced “alternative route” in the Strait of Hormuz, becoming the first international large oil tanker to pass through this new channel. Following closely, the Indian LPG vessel “JAG VIKRAM” also returned home through Iran's “alternative route” in the Strait of Hormuz. This was the last large Indian LPG ship stranded within the strait.```
