Iran-linked vessels navigate new shipping routes amid US sanctions. Two US-sanctioned ships, G Summer and Hong Lu, successfully transited through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf on Wednesday, taking an emerging route from the United Arab Emirates. This development comes as a US blockade enters its third day, with shipowners and energy traders closely monitoring the corridor for signs of how Tehran and Washington exercise control over one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. The circuitous path taken by these vessels, passing between Iran's Larak and Qeshm islands, represents a strategic adaptation to increased naval interdiction. Only a handful of vessels have crossed recently as crews navigate dual navy checkpoints. The G Summer, a liquefied petroleum gas carrier, signaled Chinese ownership while indicating Iraq's Khor Al Zubair port as destination.
