CMA CGM says its Galapagos container ship exits Strait of Hormuz


PARIS, June ⁠28 (Reuters) - CMA CGM's Galapagos container ⁠ship exited the Strait of ‌Hormuz on Sunday morning, the French shipping giant said.

The United States and Iran ​had signed an interim ⁠deal to end ⁠their four-month-old war, with the strait ⁠poised ‌to reopen, but Washington and Tehran have since ⁠resumed attacks and have traded accusations ​that ‌the other has violated the ⁠pact.

"This crossing ​marks an important milestone in a regional context that remains ⁠complex and requires constant vigilance," ​CMA CGM said in a statement.

It declined to comment further on ⁠the circumstances of the vessel’s exit from the strait.

CMA CGM said it still has 10 ships ​remaining in the ⁠Gulf, which have been there since ​the start of ‌the war.
