BANGKOK — 19 April 2026, A Thai cargo vessel operated by Siam Cement Group (SCG) has successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz after diplomatic efforts involving Oman and Iran, the Foreign Ministry said.
The development follows an official visit by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow to Oman from 15–17 April, during which he sought Muscat’s assistance in coordinating with Iran to help Thai vessels affected in the strategic waterway.
The ministry said it had been informed by SCG that one of its two ships previously stranded in the strait has now exited the area.
Officials said they will continue to monitor the vessel’s journey back to Thailand and provide updates upon its arrival.
Efforts are ongoing to assist another Thai vessel that remains in the Strait of Hormuz, the ministry added.
