Two tankers have headed back to the Red Sea after initially diverting away from the troubled region.
Ship-tracking data from LSEG and Kpler shows that the 113,100-dwt LR2 Free Spirit (built 2008), owned by the Moundreas family’s NGM Energy, and Pertamina International Shipping’s 105,600-dwt aframax Gamsunoro (built 2014) passed through the Bab el-Mandeb strait this week.
Both were heading northbound from Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates to ports in western Saudi Arabia.
