The Bangladesh Shipping Corporation (BSC) vessel MV Banglar Joyjatra was once again unable to cross the Strait of Hormuz on Friday night. After hearing reports that the strait had reopened, the ship lifted anchor and began its journey, but within hours received a radio message from Iranian forces instructing it to return to the Persian Gulf. The vessel complied and returned to a safe anchorage. BSC sources confirmed the incident late Friday night.
According to BSC officials, the ship entered the Strait of Hormuz at 11:50 p.m. and was expected to complete the crossing by around 3 a.m. However, Iranian authorities ordered it back before midnight. Marine traffic data indicated that hundreds of ships that had set out toward Hormuz around the same time were also forced to return to the Persian Gulf. The Banglar Joyjatra has been operating in the region since February 2, transporting goods between ports.
The vessel had been scheduled to return to Bangladesh since March 11 but was repeatedly denied passage. It is currently carrying about 37,000 tons of fertilizer from Saudi Arabia’s Ras Al Khair port, destined for Cape Town, South Africa.
