Another Fire Incident Reported on Tanker Off Oman
Thursday June 11, 2026
Another fire incident has been reported on board a tanker off Oman.
A tanker experienced a fire in its engine room about 21 nautical miles northeast of Sohar at around 06:05 UTC on Thursday, the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency said in its latest social media post.
UKMTO added that "no environmental impact has been reported" and said authorities are continuing to investigate the incident.
The report follows another tanker incident in waters off Oman earlier this week. The vessel was reportedly struck by US forces, which alleged it had violated a naval blockade imposed on Iran.
It remains unclear whether the latest fire was the result of an attack, an accident or another cause.
