Oil tanker that passed through the Strait of Hormuz last month arrives in South Korea

An oil tanker that passed through the Strait of Hormuz in mid-April has arrived off South Korea’s coast, with its 1 million barrels of crude to be unloaded at the HD Hyundai Oilbank refinery.

South Korea, which last year imported more than 60 percent of its crude through the strait, has capped prices of gasoline and other petroleum products as the war raises fears of an energy crisis.
