A Greek-owned vessel and a Liberia-flagged ship have passed through the Strait of Hormuz. The NJ Earth crossed at 08:44 UTC on Wednesday, while the Daytona Beach transited earlier at 06:59 UTC. The US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, allowing ships to pass through the strait if they coordinate with Iran's armed forces. The Strait of Hormuz is a key shipping lane for global oil and gas exports. Recent tensions had disrupted shipping routes, but the successful transit may signal a return to normal operations. The ceasefire is temporary, and uncertainty remains due to ongoing geopolitical developments.
