Bulk carrier, military forces involved in latest Gulf of Oman incident, UKMTO says

Gulf of Oman, Oman ·

The UK Maritime Trade Operations body reported that a bulk carrier encountered military forces in the Gulf of Oman. Investigations are underway and the condition of the vessel's crew is being checked, amid concern over commercial shipping safety in an area affected by ongoing tensions between the US and Iran.

The Gulf of Oman lies between Iran and Oman's Musandam Peninsula and links the Arabian Sea with the Strait of Hormuz, through which a large share of seaborne oil exports passes.
