The British Maritime Trade Operations Office reported on October 30 that an oil tanker had an explosive device placed on its way out of the Strait of Hormuz. The explosion caused the cabin to catch fire. The crew has now reported safety, and the fire has been put out. The report said that the incident occurred at 22:12 UTC on the 29th. The tanker caught fire 25 nautical miles northeast of Khasab in Oman. The cause was that a small boat approached the tanker from the port side and placed two explosive devices on the hull. The subsequent explosion caused the cabin to catch fire and the ship temporarily lost power. The fire has now been extinguished, and the ship continues to sail to the next port of call. The British Maritime Trade Action Office reminds vessels in the relevant waters to sail carefully and promptly report suspicious activity.
