Iran attacked two Dynacom tankers
On July 20, 2026, Iran attacked the ' Acheloos' north of the Musandam Peninsula. All crew members were safe, and all were accounted for. No pollution was reported. The vessel has proceeded to an anchorage, while assessments took place. The attack took place short time after the also Dynacom-owned product tanker 'Kavomaleas' was struck by an unknown projectile at a position near Kumzar, Oman. The tanker was hit twice and sustained a fire in the engine room, which could not be put out with the fixed firefighting system. The master then made the decision to evacuate the vessel. All crew members were safely located by Oman authorities and transferred to shoreOn the evening, the ship continued to burn, and it remained adrift in the strait. There was no sign of an environmental impact for the time being. UKMTO cautioned shipping to transit the area carefully. An investigation into the details of the attack was under way. Both ahips were owned by Dynacom, one of the most daring operators involved in the delicate trade through the Strait of Hormuz. Since the earliest days of the conflict, Dynacom has been quietly linked to transits through the waterway, consistent with its reputation for bold commercial decisions.
