UAE Coast Guard rescues 24 crew members after oil tanker collision in Gulf of Oman
The UAE Coast Guard evacuated 24 crew members from an oil tanker on Tuesday after a collision in the Gulf of Oman. The tanker, Adalynn, collided with another vessel 24 nautical miles off the coast near Khor Fakkan. 'A crew of 24 members were evacuated from the incident site, located 24 nautical miles from Khor Fakkan Port. Search and rescue boats were deployed to evacuate the crew from the site,' the UAE's National Guard posted on X. British maritime security firm Ambrey, which reported the incident, said the cause of the collision was not security-related. Reuters reported that electronic interference with commercial ship navigation systems has surged in recent days around the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Gulf, and is affecting vessels in the region. The incident comes as Israel and Iran exchange attacks for a fifth consecutive day. The conflict has heightened concerns over the security of vital shipping routes in the region, including the Strait of Hormuz. The strait lies between Oman and Iran, linking the Gulf with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond. About a fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes through the strait. Between the start of 2022 and last month, roughly 17.8 million to 20.8 million barrels of crude, condensate and fuels flowed through the strait daily, according to data from Vortexa.

‘Dark fleet' tanker collision sparks fire near Strait of Hormuz
Two crude oil tanker vessels collided and at least one caught fire early Tuesday in an area of the Persian Gulf that is seeing disruptions of ship navigation systems. The tanker Adalynn, a 'dark fleet' ship with no recognized insurance registered in Antigua and Barbuda, collided Tuesday with the Liberia-flagged Front Eagle about 24 miles off Khor Fakkan, United Arab Emirates, south of the Strait of Hormuz. A fire broke out on the deck of the Front Eagle, operator Frontline (NYSE: FRO) confirmed in published reports, which was transporting 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude oil to China. There were no injuries, and 24 crew were evacuated by the UAE Coast Guard. The 900-foot Adalynn, owned by Global Shipping Holding Ltd. of India, was sailing without cargo toward the Suez Canal in Egypt, reports area has seen a recent surge of interference in GPS and other ship navigation systems. The UK-based Maritime Trade Operations monitor said Tuesday that there was no evidence hostile activity caused the tanker collision but advised vessels transiting the region to use caution. This week the multinational Combined Maritime Force's JMIC information center led by the United States said it had received reports of electronic interference near the port of Bandar Abbas in Iran and in the Gulf region. In May GPS interference, or spoofing, was suspected after the container ship MSC Antonia ran aground near Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Port in the Red Sea. The Strait of Hormuz, the narrow Persian Gulf maritime gateway controlled by Iran, has come under scrutiny since Israel and Iran began exchanging missile salvos since has threatened to close the strait, a chokepoint for one-fifth of the world's oil and gas supply, in an effort to pressure the United States and other nations to force Israel to halt its military assault.

UAE Coast Guard Rescues 24 Crew Members After Oil Tanker Collision in Sea of Oman
In a swift and coordinated operation, the UAE Coast Guard successfully rescued all 24 crew members aboard the oil tanker ADALYNN following a maritime collision in the Sea of Oman, authorities confirmed on Tuesday. The incident occurred approximately 24 nautical miles off the UAE coastline, where ADALYNN collided with another vessel under yet-unconfirmed circumstances. In response, the UAE Coast Guard—part of the National Guard—immediately deployed search and rescue teams to the scene. All crew members were safely evacuated and transported to Khorfakkan Port without reported injuries. Emergency medical personnel were on standby as the rescue teams docked. Officials praised the speed and professionalism of the rescue operation, which ensured the safe transfer of the entire crew amid potentially dangerous conditions. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the collision and assess any environmental impact, especially considering the vessel's cargo of oil. The incident highlights the UAE's strong maritime safety infrastructure and rapid response capabilities, especially in high-risk waters such as the Sea of Oman, a critical international shipping lane.
