The vessels are navigating normally, though they have not yet completely left a high-risk area, the ministry stated, opting not to reveal additional information on the ships.
The ships do not carry South Korean crew members and are not destined for South Korea, the ministry added.
According to the ministry, 22 South Korean-operated vessels remain stuck in the Strait of Hormuz.
In a separate update, the initial round of discussions between senior US and Iranian officials in Switzerland concluded on Monday, as mediators indicated, following a tense commencement marked by Tehran’s announcement of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and US President Donald Trump reiterating his threats of renewed attacks on Iran.
Technical discussions will carry on for the remainder of the week at the Qatari-owned Swiss resort of Buergenstock, as per the statement released by the Qatari foreign ministry.
