Dhaka, April 10 -- A Bangladesh Shipping Corporation (BSC) vessel, MV Banglar Joyjatra, remains stuck near the Strait of Hormuz after failing to receive clearance from Iranian authorities to pass through the strategic waterway, even after a ceasefire was announced in Iran.

The ship had set sail two days earlier from Saudi Arabia's Port of Ras Al Khair, but upon reaching close to Hormuz, it was forced to suspend its journey and anchor outside the waters of Port of Mina Saqr in the United Arab Emirates.

The vessel is carrying 31 Bangladeshi crew members.
