An attack damaged one of ADNOC Logistics & Services’ vessels Tuesday in the Arabian Gulf within UAE territorial waters, the company said. It did not identify the ship or report its crew’s condition.
Response teams were working, and the company said it planned to provide further information when more details became available. It gave no exact location, identified no weapon or attacker, and did not describe the extent of the damage. It set no time for another update.
Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported a tanker strike involving an unknown projectile about 19 nautical miles northeast of Lima, Oman. UKMTO said the tanker’s crew were safe and no environmental impact had been reported. That crew update concerned the Oman tanker; ADNOC has not reported the condition of its own vessel’s crew.
ADNOC Logistics & Services said projectiles struck crude oil tankers Al Bahyah and Mombasa B while they were transiting the Strait of Hormuz on July 14. The company said it owned Al Bahyah and operated Mombasa B under a time-charter arrangement. It reported that one seafarer died, several were injured and both vessels sustained significant damage.
