Six Pinoys repatriated
Six Filipino crew members of the 'Al Bahyah' safely arrived in Manila on July 27 via Qatar Airways Flight QR934 at Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). They were welcomed by representatives from the DMW and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), who also provided immediate assistance upon their arrival. The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) Medical Team conducted an initial medical assessment to check the condition of the seafarers. After the assessment, they were turned over to representatives of their licensed manning agency, the BSM Crew Service Centre Philippines Inc., for further assistance and coordination. One of them had sustained a minor injury during the attack.
One seafarer killed and eight injured after Iranian attacks on two tankers
One crew member was killed and eight others were injured, including four seriously, after the 'Al Bahiyah' and 'Mombasa B' (IMO: 9739501) were struck by Iranian cruise missiles, while they were transiting the southern shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz in Omani territorial waters on July 14, 2026. The deceased was an Indian crew member of the 'Mombasa'. The injured included six Indian nationals and two Ukrainian nationals. Both tankers suffered material damage, after fires broke out on board, which since have been brought under control. Separately, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said it had received a report from the master of a tanker struck by an unknown projectile in the starboard side engine room about 40 nautical miles northeast of Qalhat, and advised vessels transiting the area to exercise caution and report any suspicious activity. The Iranian authorities claimed that they targeted and disabled the vessels that were being illegally guided via an unlawful route by the US military. The UAE were one of the biggest users of the Omani lane, operating tankers as shuttles to move oil out of the Arabian Gulf to an anchorage off Khor Fakkan, in the Gulf of Oman. At this spot, the oil is transferred onto other ships for onward shipment to the final destination. The 'Mombasa B' and 'Al Bahyah' were both engaged in this trade in June and early July, but have been operating in dark mode since last week. The UAE condemned the incident as a “blatant attack” and stated that it reserved “its full right to respond to this escalation.”
