The Liberia-flagged crude tanker Dominica Prosperity was struck by a projectile on 11 November while drifting off Mina Saqr, Ras Al Khaimah, in the UAE near the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE Coast Guard evacuated all 22 crew, including 19 Indian seafarers, and no injuries were reported.
IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez has urged flag, port and coastal States to enforce safety and security rules in and around the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that substandard, falsely flagged and unidentified ships are transiting the waterway as attacks on merchant ships continue. He also called for a political solution.
Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority has added 114 ships to its Strait of Hormuz “non-compliant” list, taking the total to 240. Most are tankers, many from Gulf state fleets, and Iran warns listed ships may face fines, detention or confiscation when passing between Iran and Oman.
