Maersk’s Alliance Fairfax, a U.S.-flagged vehicle carrier operated by Farrell Lines, exited the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz under U.S. military escort. The transit was completed without incident, making it an important early test of U.S. efforts to restore commercial shipping. Still, the broader maritime crisis remains unresolved.
