Ten of the eleven Thai commercial ships that had been stranded in the Hormuz Strait since late February have now safely crossed the waterway, according to a statement from Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The vessels, either Thai-flagged or chartered by Thai operators, had been unable to leave the area following the outbreak of military conflict in the region on February 28.

The ministry confirmed that only one Thai ship remains in the high-risk zone. It stated that this remaining vessel is expected to depart the strait as soon as its cargo loading is completed. The release of the ships marks a significant relief for Thailand’s maritime trade operations, which had been disrupted for several months due to the regional instability.

The ministry’s statement did not specify further details about the conflict or the measures taken to secure the ships’ passage, but it emphasized the government’s continued monitoring of the situation to ensure the safety of Thai vessels operating in the area.
