Does anybody have additional information on these two ships "Bern" and "Andermatt" which were seemingly able to cross the strait of Hormuz today? They sailed together and i couldn’t find out if these ships belong to the so called "Swiss high seas fleet" or if these ships belong to a private owner.

“The Andermatt (IMO: 9738791) is a 225-meter bulk carrier, not an oil tanker, sailing under the flag of Liberia.
Recent Activity and Status:
Current Location: As of March 31, 2026, the vessel was reported in the Persian Gulf.
Voyage Information: The vessel departed Bandar Imam Khomeini, Iran, on March 23, 2026.
Atypical Behavior: The vessel was noted for broadcasting an unusual Automatic Identification System (AIS) destination of “Santos food for Iran” while transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
Ownership: The vessel was formerly associated with Swiss owner Massoel Shipping but was reported sold around 2020, with current data indicating it is operated under a Liberian flag, often carrying cargo from the Middle East.”

How are you not able to find details about these vessels?
To compare the comment above, Bern is under the flag of the Marshal Islands.
I wish there was a ship called “aromat”
