'Dark fleet' tanker caught on fire after being struck in Persian Gulf
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A massive oil tanker was left engulfed in flames after a crash with another vessel in the Persian Gulf close to Iran. The MV Adalynn collided with another oil tanker, the MV Front Eagle, just south of the Strait of Hormuz, in the early hours of Tuesday. All 24 crew on the Adalynn were evacuated by the United Arab Emirates coast guard to the port of Khor Fakkan. There were no reported injuries on either of the vessels. The crash is believed to have been caused by electronic interference which has affected navigation systems in the area. This has surged in the area during the conflict between Iran and Israel and has disrupted navigation in the waterway between Iran and Oman which handles around a fifth of the world's seaborne oil. But the UK Maritime Trade Operations monitor said there is no evidence that any hostile activity caused the collision. Vessels have been warned by the organisation to take care going through the region. The Adalynn is owned by India-based Global Shipping Holding Ltd and was sailing towards the Suez Canal in Egypt. The owner of the Front Eagle vessel, Frontline, said it is investigating and there is no suggestion of outside interference. The Front Eagle was en route to Zhoushan in China, according to monitoring service and was loaded with 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude oil. In recent days, the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel has intensified and the Strait of Hormuz is currently under Iranian control. Iran has in the past threatened to close of the strait in retaliation against the west. Some shipping companies have paused voyages in the water because of rising tensions, according to shipping sources. In March, the MV Solong cargo ship crashed into the Stena Immaculate oil tanker in the North Sea which was carrying jet fuel for the US army. Police arrested the Russian captain of the Solong on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.

Huge flames leap from cargo ship as ‘dark fleet' tanker burns after crash in sea
Thick black smoke can be seen pouring from the blazing ship, which is believed to be a 'dark fleet' oil tanker which had been making its way through the Persian Gulf Pictures have captured the terrifying moment a massive cargo ship went up in flames after reportedly colliding with another vessel. Thick black smoke can be seen pouring from the blazing ship, which is believed to be a 'dark fleet' oil tanker which had been making its way through the Persian Gulf. The MV Adalynn caught fire after it was crashed into by a second tanker, understood to be the MV Front Eagle in a devastating impact which took place in the early hours of this morning in the Strait of Hormuz, local media reported. The 'dark fleet' is a secret network of oil tankers that rogue states have been using to evade sanctions. Neither vessel's crew suffered any casualties, with all 24 crew members on the Adalynn quickly and safely evacuated. It is believed that a simple navigation error caused the two ships to collide as they passed through the Fakkan anchorage near Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates. The Adalynn is registered in Antigua and Barbuda and is reportedly owned by Global Shipping Holding Ltd, she measures 900ft long. The vessel is believed to have been sailing without cargo towards the Suez Canal in Egypt. There have been fears of GPS interference in the area where the crash took place in recent months. However there was no evidence that any hostile activity caused the tanker collision, the UK-based Maritime Trade Operations monitor said on Tuesday. However the agency did warn all vessels going through the region to take care and use caution. The ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel has heightened tension for shipping in the area in recent days. Iran currently controls the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow gateway into the Persian Gulf through which much of the world 's shipping passes. Iran has threatened to close the strait completely to foreign ships which would have a major impact on the world's oil and gas supply trade. The news comes after a Russian captain of a container ship that crashed into a US oil tanker in the North Sea pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. The Solong's master, Vladimir Motin, 59, of Primorsky, St Petersburg, is accused of the unlawful killing of crew member Mark Angelo Pernia, 38, in the collision off the East Yorkshire coast. Motin appeared at the Old Bailey on May 30 by videolink from HMP Hull for a plea hearing before Judge Mark Lucraft KC. Motin confirmed his identity before he pleaded not guilty to a single charge of the manslaughter of Filipino national Mr Pernia on March 10. Motin was charged over Mr Pernia's death after his vessel collided with the American tanker Stena Immaculate near the Humber Estuary on March 10.

Two oil tankers collide, catch fire near Strait of Hormuz
By Maha El Dahan and Stine Jacobsen Two oil tankers collided and caught fire on Tuesday near the Strait of Hormuz, where electronic interference has surged during conflict between Iran and Israel, but there were no injuries to crew or spillage reported. With Iran and Israel firing missiles at each other since Friday, interference has disrupted navigation systems near the vital waterway between Iran and Oman which handles about a fifth of the world's seaborne oil. The United Arab Emirates coast guard said it had evacuated 24 people from one of the ships, Adalynn, to the port of Khor Fakkan after the crash 24 nautical miles off its eastern coast. Personnel on the second tanker, the Front Eagle, were reported safe with no pollution seen after a fire on its deck, according to its owner, the Oslo-listed company Frontline. Frontline later told Reuters the incident would be investigated, but there was no suggestion of outside interference. The Front Eagle was loaded with 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude oil and was en route to Zhoushan in China, according to monitoring service The Adalynn, a Suezmax-class tanker owned by India-based Global Shipping Holding Ltd, had no cargo and was sailing towards the Suez Canal in Egypt, the monitoring service said. said on X that the Front Eagle was moving southbound at a speed of 13.1 knots when it "executed a starboard (right) turn, resulting in a collision with the port quarter (aft port side)" of the Adalynn, which was proceeding southeast at 4.8 knots. STRATEGIC STRAIT The Strait of Hormuz links the Gulf to the northwest with the Gulf of Oman to the southeast and the Arabian Sea beyond. Between the start of 2022 and last month, roughly 17.8 million to 20.8 million barrels of crude, condensate and fuels flowed through daily, according to data from Vortexa. The multinational, U.S.-led Combined Maritime Force's JMIC information centre said in an advisory this week that it had received reports of electronic interference stemming from the vicinity of the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, on the north shore of the strait, and other areas in the Gulf region. Iran has in the past threatened to close the strait to traffic in retaliation for Western pressure. Tehran has not commented on Tuesday's collision or reports of electronic interference. There was no immediate response to a Reuters request for comment from the Emirati foreign ministry or Khor Fakkan container terminal on Tuesday. Dozens of tankers have dropped anchor in major port hubs in the Gulf close to the Strait of Hormuz around Fujairah and Khor Fakkan and Sharjah on the Emirati side, ship tracking data on MarineTraffic showed on Tuesday. Some shipping companies have decided to pause their voyages due to the heightened tensions, while others were awaiting charter hires due to uncertainty, shipping sources said. While war risk insurance costs for ships heading to Israeli ports have soared in recent days, the costs so far remain stable for voyages through the Gulf, insurance industry sources said on Tuesday. "Rates, for the time being, remain stable with no noticeable increases since the latest hostilities between Israel and Iran. This position could change dramatically depending on any further escalation or general conflagration in the area," David Smith, head of marine with insurance broker McGill and Partners, told Reuters. © Thomson Reuters 2025.
