thebalanced.newsCS Anthem Becomes Second U.S.-Flagged Vessel to Exit Strait of Hormuz Amid Regional Tensions
The CS Anthem, a U.S.-flagged chemical tanker operated by Crowley-Stena Marine Solutions, has safely completed its transit through the Strait of Hormuz, becoming the second such vessel to exit the region since the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran began on February 28. Other U.S.-flagged ships remain stranded in the Gulf, including the Stena Imperative, which was damaged by projectiles in Bahrain. U.S. forces continue efforts to restore commercial shipping under "Project Freedom," with Navy destroyers active in the area. The Alliance Fairfax also completed its transit without incident.
