The Liberian-flagged dry bulk carrier Alexis had an engine failure at about 5 AM local time on Tuesday while at the southern end of the strait, news agency Reuters reported, citing comments from shipping agency Tribeca.

Vessels have been sent to the area for a likely salvage operation, according to the report.
