BANGKOK, April 8 (Xinhua) -- A crude oil tanker from the Middle East has safely arrived at the Bangchak Sriracha Refinery port in Chonburi province, Thailand, Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited confirmed on Wednesday.
The tanker was carrying approximately 700,000 barrels of crude oil from the Middle East. The shipment is part of the company's planned crude procurement.
The vessel safely transited the Strait of Hormuz and reached the Bangchak Sriracha Refinery port on the night of April 7, supporting ongoing crude supply under current market volatility, the company said.
In late March, Thailand secured safe passage for its oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz following diplomatic coordination with regional partners. ■
