Wallenius Wilhelmsen's vessel Morning Concert safely exited the Strait of Hormuz
on 30 June after being inside the Persian Gulf since the conflict began in
February.
The decision to proceed was based on a comprehensive assessment, with the safety
of crew as the top priority. Morning Concert exited through Omani waters.
"We thank the crew and external stakeholders who facilitated the safe exit of
the strait. Wallenius Wilhelmsen hopes for prolonged stabilization in the region
and continued safety of seafarers", says Lasse Kristoffersen, CEO and President
of Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
