{"id":2843041,"version":0,"headline":"Saudi DAP cargo transits Hormuz: Update","dateModified":"2026-06-23T17:38:20Z","datePublished":"2026-06-23T14:41:16Z","articleBody":"

Since the start of the week, three out of eight Saudi Arabian DAP/MAP cargoes stuck in the Mideast Gulf have managed to transit through the strait of Hormuz, totalling 154,000t of product.

The Global Unity carrying 61,000t of Saudi Arabian DAP crossed the strait of Hormuz yesterday and is scheduled to arrive at Visakhapatnam in India on 3 July, vessel tracking data show. The cargo loaded at the Saudi port of Ras al-Khair in the first half of March but the effective closure of the strait of Hormuz following the outbreak of the regional war prevented it from leaving the Mideast Gulf.

The Banglar Joyjatra crossed last night with 37,000t of MAP. The trader holding the cargo has specified that all the volume will go to South Africa, likely for arrival in early July. The cargo loaded at Ras al-Khair in early April.

Vessel tracking data shows that the BC Agility has crossed the strait with 55,000t of MAP for arrival at Rio Grande in Brazil on 25 July. Loading had completed in the second half of March.

These crossings come after a deescalation of tensions between the US and Iran last week. They mark the first phosphate cargoes to cross the strait since the first half of May, when [the Mdl Toofan carried 55,000t of Saudi MAP](https://direct.argusmedia.com/newsandanalysis/article/2825221) to Brazil. Another 319,000t of Saudi Arabian DAP/MAP is still stuck on five vessels in the Mideast Gulf.

Phosphates sellers and buyers have remained cautious about last week's announcement of a provisional peace deal between the US and Iran.
