Tankers exited Red Sea in dark mode

Mon Aug 03 11:25:34 CEST 2026 Timsen

After the Iran-aligned Houthis declared a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia on July 20, opening a new front against the U.S. and its allies in the Iran war and expanding attacks on tankers, the 'Lesvos' (IMO: 9772321) and the 'Desh Vaibhav' managed to exit the Red Sea with their AIS transponders switched off. The 'Lesvos' was carrying about one million barrels of Saudi crude to an unknown destination. The 'Desh Vaibhav', carrying two million barrels crude, was heading to Sikka, where the Reliance Industries RELI.NS typically receives oil.

Conflicting accounts of the crew's status had emerged on Aug 15: The SCI had stated that two casualties were reported and transported ashore, and one injured crewmembers is currently being treated at a hospital in Muscat.

Tanker on fire off Oman

Tue Aug 14 18:47:04 CEST 2018 Timsen

The "Desh Vaibhav" caught fire following an explosion on Aug 14, 2018, at 08:45 a.m. 60 miles northeast of Muscat. The lifeboat has been lowered, and rescue operations were underway for four crew members who had jumped into the water. The fire also injured one crew member which was taken to shore aboard a rescue helicopter. Several supporting vessels were assisting the rescue operations, among them the "Arva Spirit", "Jag Lavanya", "Desh Vishal", an unnamed Maersk container vessel, an Omani warship and the Iranian Navy. The tanker was sailing in ballast from Halul Island to Fujairah. IT had previously been chartered by Reliance to ship 270,000 tons of crude from the Persian Gulf on July 27 to Jamagar. The vessel was next to take on board another 270,000 mt cargo of crude from Ras Tanura on August 15 to Kochi for BPCL. While the fire was now out, the hull was still being cooled with water cannons to prevent the fire from flaring up again.
