Two oil tankers from the Middle East that did not pass through the Strait of Hormuz are set to arrive in Japan shortly, industry minister Ryosei Akazawa said Tuesday.

The vessels departed on March 1, one day after U.S
and Israeli forces carried out strikes against Iran.

The first tanker sailed from Yanbu, a Red Sea port in Saudi Arabia
Ships in the Red Sea can reach the Arabian Sea via the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden, completely avoiding the Strait of Hormuz.
