Summary
Three vessels — two cargo ships and a fuel tanker — appeared to be attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz early on Tuesday as US and Iranian blockades remained in place. The Shoja 2, an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel, is being closely watched after the US Navy seized another Iranian cargo ship on Sunday, the first capture since Washington imposed a blockade of the waterway last week. Bloomberg's Clara Ferreira Marques reports. (Source: Bloomberg)
