A U.S.-sanctioned Chinese tanker, Rich Starry, sailed through the Strait of Hormuz on April 14 despite the American blockade, marking a potentially significant test of enforcement in one of the world’s most sensitive shipping lanes. Reuters-cited tracking data said the medium-range tanker, owned by Shanghai Xuanrun Shipping Co Ltd, was carrying about 250,000 barrels of methanol loaded at the UAE’s Hamriyah port, while reports also identified the vessel as Malawi-flagged and crewed by Chinese nationals.
