UKMTO: tanker hit off the UAE — crew safely evacuated
Warning 204-26 concerns an incident on 11 November, 14 nautical miles northwest of Ra’s al Khaymah. No casualties were reported; firefighting was ongoing at the time of the report.
UKMTO reported that a tanker was struck in its engine room by an unknown projectile in warning 204-26. The incident occurred 14 nautical miles northwest of Ra’s al Khaymah in the United Arab Emirates.
The service gives the incident time as 18:00 UTC on 11 November 2026, equivalent to 20:00 in Athens. It explicitly describes the information as a time-late report, so this concerns an incident from the previous day.
According to UKMTO, no casualties had been reported and the entire crew had been evacuated safely. Firefighting efforts were described as ongoing when the warning was issued. That wording does not establish that the fire is still burning at the time of the present check.
JMIC lists 204-26 in its 12 November update 113, separately from incident 202-26 in the Strait of Hormuz. UKMTO advises vessels to transit cautiously and report suspicious activity while the authorities investigate. The individual warning does not identify an attacker.
