Tanker caught fire off Oman
On June 8, 2026, at 1.30 p.m. the 'Marivex', en route to Duqm with 24 Indian members on board, was struck by an explosive object, which breached the ship’s engine room in a shipping corridor off the coast of Oman in the in the Arabian Sea in pos. 2057.07 N 059 0813 E. Water rushed into the engine room, causing the ship to lose propulsion and starting to list. The explosion ruptured internal fuel lines, igniting a massive fire that quickly choked the upper decks and companionways with thick smoke. The intense heat and wrapping flames cut off access to primary muster stations, rendering standard lifeboat-lowering mechanisms completely inoperable. The crew reported that the fire was spreading too fast to contain and that they were actively seeking alternative ways to abandon the tanker, as the conditions on board worsened. The Oman Coast Guard, operating in tandem with regional naval monitoring assets, initiated an SAR operation. The crew was hoisted from the deck to a helicopter. The vessel’s lifeboat was damaged by the fire, and the crew was unable to launch the boat or rafts. All sailors were evacuated them to safety at Dibba Port in Oman. All sailors were safe and had their vital travel and identification documents secured by local consular teams. The Director in the Shipping Division of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW), Opesh Kumar Sharma, was coordinating with the Ministry of External Affairs, the Indian missions abroad, the Indian Navy and the Ministry of Defence to ensure their safety. The attack came after nearly three weeks after another Indian-flagged commercial vessel had come under attack off the coast of Oman on May 14. At that time, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had denounced the attack and termed it "unacceptable", without naming the parties involved in the attack. The CENTCOM later confirmed that a F/A-18 Super Hornet from the aircraft carrier USS 'Abraham Lincoln' had fired a precision munition into the ship's engineering and steering spaces. The U.S. said it acted after the crew failed to comply with directions from its forces. The ship was claiming to be operating under the false flag of Madagascar since taking on its latest name in February 2026. Previously it was registered in Palau. Over the last several days, the vessel made four attempts to evade the US blockade. On three occasions, the vessel turned away after repeated warnings by the US Navy. It switched off its signal devices to go undetected.
