Denmark's freight giant Maersk said on Tuesday that one of its ships successfully sailed through the Strait of Hormuz under U.S. escort.
The ship, U.S.-flagged Alliance Fairfax, had been stuck in the Gulf since the war erupted in February and was "offered the opportunity" to leave, accompanied by the U.S. military.
"The vessel subsequently exited the Persian Gulf accompanied by U.S. military assets" on May 4, the company said in a statement. "The transit was completed without incident, and all crew members are safe and unharmed."
