Two large oil tankers collided near the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, causing a fire and forcing an emergency crew evacuation.
The incident happened around 15 nautical miles off the coast of the United Arab Emirates in the Gulf of Oman, an area that has become increasingly tense due to ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.
The tankers involved were the Front Eagle, operated by the Oslo-listed company Frontline, and the Adalynn, a Suezmax-class ship owned by India-based Global Shipping Holding Ltd.
According to maritime tracking service TankerTrackers.com, Front Eagle was carrying 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude oil and heading to Zhoushan, China. The Adalynn had no cargo on board and was on its way to the Suez Canal in Egypt.
After the collision, a fire broke out on Front Eagle, but it was quickly extinguished. Frontline confirmed there were no injuries among the crew and no oil pollution detected.
