Second Turkish ship passes Strait of Hormuz
Turkish authorities announced that a second merchant ship owned by Turkish companies successfully transited the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The vessels were the 'Neraki' and 'Rosanba'. The Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu explained that this was the result of political initiatives and direct negotiations. He also noted that the status of ships using Iranian ports or transporting goods linked to Tehran had facilitated their obtaining the necessary permits to pass through. 15 ships owned by Turkish companies had been stranded and waiting to pass through the straits since Feb 28, 2026. The first ship had been granted permission to pass through on March 13 with explicit authoridation from Iranian authorities. The minister did not specify the exact time of the second ship’s passage, simply confirming the success of the operation. Ankara seeks to secure its supply chains and protect the interests of Turkish ship owners through open channels of communication with all parties involved. This comes at a time when international shipping is experiencing near-total paralysis, escalating insurance costs, and military risks that threatened the permanent closure of the strait.
