Oil tanker exits Hormuz, heading to South Korea's HD Hyundai Oilbank, data shows

SEOUL, - An oil tanker is heading to discharge its cargo at South Korean refiner HD ‌Hyundai Oilbank after ⁠passing ⁠through the Strait of Hormuz, shipping data showed.

The Malta-flagged Odessa passed through the strait on April 13, Kpler data showed, but did not indicate where the tanker had loaded ⁠the oil.

The ‌Suezmax tanker, which can carry 1 million barrels of oil, ⁠had its AIS tracker switched off and re-appeared on April 17 near the United Arab Emirates' Fujairah port, LSEG data showed.


A Hyundai Oilbank spokesperson confirmed the tanker is heading to its refinery ‌but declined to comment on what the tanker is carrying. He referred to ⁠shipping data when asked whether the vessel had passed the strait.

Dynacom, the ship's Greece-based manager, could not be reached for comment outside of office hours.
