Five vessels linked to South Korea have successfully exited the Strait of Hormuz, following last week's ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, bringing the total number of ships linked to the Asian country that have left the region to 11, as reported by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs.
The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries stated that the vessels traversed the strategic waterway without incident and are sailing normally.
A total of 21 South Korean sailors were on board the ships, one of which was bound for South Korea, according to the agency.
With the latest departure, the number of South Korean-linked vessels remaining in the strait has been reduced to 13. The ministry reported that 87 crew members from the country remain in the Persian Gulf, of whom 54 are on board South Korean-operated vessels and 33 are serving on foreign-flagged ships.
Under the ceasefire agreement reached with Washington, Tehran has agreed to allow vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz free of charge for 60 days following the signing of the provisional pact.
