Vitol Ships 35,000 Tons of Aluminum Through Strait of Hormuz

Vitol Group successfully moved a stranded aluminum cargo through the Strait of Hormuz aboard the Lowlands Corso bulk carrier on Friday, signaling early trade normalization. The vessel carried approximately 35,000 tons of aluminum produced by Emirates Global Aluminium PJSC, valued at about $110 million, loaded in Abu Dhabi in late February. The shipment is destined for New Orleans, marking the first bulk aluminum export through the strait since the Iran war began.
