Fars: A Saudi oil tanker was stopped in the Southern Corridor near the Strait of Hormuz

The massive Saudi oil tanker, named SEDER, was stopped while transiting the southern corridor of the Strait of Hormuz.

About an hour earlier, UKMTO reported receiving reports about a security incident involving a tanker.

The SEDER tanker has the capacity to carry 2 million barrels of oil and, as it transited the Strait of Hormuz, suddenly switched on its automatic identification system.
