The tanker in Wednesday's UKMTO-logged incident in the Strait of Hormuz has been named as the Saudi-flagged NCC Fajr, Riviera Maritime Media reports. UK maritime security firm Vanguard Tech identified the vessel and described the incident as a 'possible attack'.
UKMTO's warning on 11 November gave almost no detail. The ship's location and the circumstances of the incident remain unconfirmed. It has not been linked to the mine strikes the IRGC says have hit several vessels, a claim that has not been independently verified.
Shipping database Equasis lists NCC Fajr as owned and commercially managed by Saudi Arabia's National Chemical Carriers Company, with operational management by Bahri Shipmanagement, according to Riviera.
Riviera also names the tanker in the incident on 10 November as the Barbados-flagged SEA 1. It was reportedly struck by a UAV at 13:38 UTC while outbound, about 19 nautical miles north-east of Limah, Oman. UKMTO said all crew were safe.
