A luxury superyacht linked to Russian billionaire Alexey Mordashov sailed through the Strait of Hormuz despite an ongoing blockade. The vessel, Nord, travelled from Dubai to Muscat over the weekend. It is among the few private boats to pass through the route in recent months. The waterway is key for global oil and gas supply. Tensions remain high after the United States imposed restrictions and Iran limited shipping access. Maritime traffic has dropped sharply. It is not clear if Mordashov was on board during the journey.
