A container ship, 1700 TEU ‘Safeen Prestige’, was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, causing a fire, according to container shipping analyst Lars Jensen.
Jensen said in a LinkedIn post: “Crew has abandoned the ship, no injuries reported. The vessel is operated by Global Feeder Systems, which is owned by Abu Dhabi Ports Group. They also sent “SSF Leo” through the Strait yesterday.”
Jensen also reported: “An oil tanker was hit by a kamikaze drone boat, bringing the count to 6 tankers and 1 container vessel hit in the Hormuz crisis thus far.” He added that: “Maersk’s new overview of ports in the region shows operations are suspended in Salalah and Bahrain.”
