The first ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman on the morning of April 8 following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. This was reported by TASS, citing data from the ship tracking service MarineTraffic.

According to the service, the Greek bulk carrier NJ Earth passed through the Strait of Hormuz at 8:44 UTC (11:44 Minsk time).
